The field of the medical humanities is developing rapidly, however,
there has also been parallel concern from sceptics that the value
of medical humanities educational interventions should be open to
scrutiny and evidence. Just what is the impact of medical
humanities provision upon the education of medical students? In an
era of limited resources, is such provision worth the investment?
This innovative text addresses these pressing questions, describes
the contemporary territory comprising the medical humanities in
medical education, and explains how this field may be developed as
a key medical education component for the future. Bleakley, a
driving force of the international movement to establish the
medical humanities as a core and integrated provision in the
medical curriculum, proposes a model that requires collaboration
between patients, artists, humanities scholars, doctors and other
health professionals, in developing medical students' sensibility
(clinical acumen based on close noticing) and sensitivity (ethical,
professional and humane practice). In particular, this text focuses
upon how medical humanities input into the curriculum can help to
shape the identities of medical students as future doctors who are
humane, caring, expressive and creative - whose work will be
technically sound but considerably enhanced by their abilities to
communicate well with patients and colleagues, to empathise, to be
adaptive and innovative, and to act as 'medical citizens' in
shaping a future medical culture as a model democracy where social
justice is a key aspect of medicine. Making sense of the new wave
of medical humanities in medical education scholarship that calls
for a 'critical medical humanities', Medical Humanities and Medical
Education incorporates a range of case studies and illustrative and
practical examples to aid integrating medical humanities into the
medical curriculum. It will be important reading for medical
educators and others working with the medical education community,
and all those interested in the medical humanities.
