Current Status and Improvement Strategies for Medical Humanities Education in Medical Schools

Abstract

With the increasing demand for humanistic qualities in the healthcare industry, the importance of medical humanities education in cultivating high-quality medical talents is continuously growing. Medical humanities education not only involves the study of medical knowledge but more importantly, focuses on cultivating students' compassion, ethical perspectives, communication skills, and sense of social responsibility. However, there are some challenges faced by medical schools in implementing humanities education, such as insufficient educational resources, unreasonable course settings, and a lack of effective practical teaching. In view of this, this paper aims to analyze the current status of medical humanities education and propose improvement strategies based on this analysis, in order to promote the development of medical humanities education and better meet the comprehensive quality requirements of medical talents demanded by society.
