Course/Module description:
Medical Humanities is an academic field that combines issues from the social sciences and the humanities with the intention of emphasizing the human aspects of the doctor's work. The far-reaching scientific and technological developments that characterize modern medicine highlight the need for a move toward the humanities and social sciences to advance the renewed challenges of: patient-patient communication, medical ethics with patients and families exposed to a wealth of information and choice, multicultural values, and values ​​of quality, Respect for the patient, suffering from suffering and the ability to develop compassion.
The evolution of science and the abundance of medical information have sometimes caused the physician to lose the "human touch" that patients are thirsty for. On the other hand, physicians suffer from persistent burnout and frustration, given the increased share of bureaucratic roles in their work, the race for knowledge and competition in the academic world.
Medical-humanistic education produces physicians who are able to appreciate history, literature and art and therefore also life stories and differences between personal and cultural. The doctor who is the product of such an education knew his patients as people, and knew how to provide caring and compassionate care.
In the program we will study introductions to physician-patient communication, medical ethics, cultural competence, and professionalism. At the end of the course we will know the person in the patient and the person in the future - the doctors.
Below is the first year curriculum.
