Curriculum Design
The design of the HMSC curriculum rests on the notion of the interconnectedness of the
various levels at which phenomena related to health and sickness, well-being and ill-being,
and personal and community care are to be understood. The curriculum aims to enable
students to explore all of these levels as well as the relationships between them. The different
levels can be interpreted as the individual, the family, the peer group, the community, the
institutional setting, society, the nation and the world.
