Abstract:
Over the past 20 years, the number of colleges offering programs in medical humanities has increased, and through the Medical Humanities Initiative at Georgetown University, this pilot study sought to understand students perceived benefits of a medical humanities curriculum. Based on a qualitative thematic analysis of free-response survey reflections from students enrolled in three unique medical humanities courses, six themes emerged. The themes help capture the role that a medical humanities education can play in shaping future clinicians and demonstrate that these courses not only provided a distinct teaching methodology from the scientific classroom but also appeared to deepen the students' understanding of the humanistic aspects of medicine and its many facets.
