Context:

Summary:

  • Contemporary medicine's scientific focus sidelines the humanities, despite medicine's historical ties to both fields.
  • Including humanities in medical training may not inherently create more humane doctors but can foster critical reflection and broader perspectives.
  • Emphasis on humanities can equip doctors and healthcare workers with better tools to navigate the complexities of their profession and personal well-being.

Impact:
