The medical humanities section of a medical practice course was challenging for students, requiring significant time for project research and preparation. Further definition and new activities are needed for this emerging concept.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Medical Humanities

Background:

  • The integration of arts and humanities into medical education is a growing field.
  • Traditionally, medical humanities were viewed as extracurricular rather than integral to medical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the implementation of a 'good medical practice course' at Hacettepe University.
  • To assess student and tutor perceptions of the medical humanities component within the course.

Main Methods:

  • Students completed 526 projects across 'medicine and art,' 'medicine and history,' and 'man and medicine' over three years.
  • Projects were presented as communications or posters at a congress, with portfolios also required.

Main Results:

  • The medical humanities section was identified as the most difficult part of the course by 67.1% of students.

  • Students reported that project research and preparation were time-consuming, leading to confusion alongside new medical knowledge.

    • Conclusions:

    • Medical humanities is a novel concept for both students and faculty, necessitating a clear definition.
    • The course structure requires adjustments, including the development of new activities to better integrate medical humanities.
