Description

The field of medical humanities integrates humanities and social science topics such as art, history, philosophy, ethics, cultural studies, literature, anthropology, and sociology into the field of medicine. Applying traditionally non-medical topics into medical education and practice has proven beneficial to the skill development of medical professionals in addition to ensuring a well-rounded education within the medical school curricula.

Significance of Medical Humanities in Contemporary Healthcare Practice and Education explores the integration of sociology, anthropology, art, literature, and creative writing into medical education as well as professional development of current medical practitioners. Focusing on pedagogical strategies, applications in developing countries, and the rationale behind the convergence of medicine and the humanities, this video lecture series is an excellent educational resource for professionals, students, researchers, and educators in the medical field.
