Most medical schools in the US, Canada and UK now incorporate some
form of arts and humanities-based teaching into their curricula.
What happens in residency is another story. Most postgraduate
programs do not continue the thread of such teaching although many
residents would like to deepen their understanding of the medical
humanities before they move into practice. The humanities emphasize
"the human side of medicine", and can provide a counterpoint to the
reductionism of evidence-based medicine and technological hubris
for young doctors as they apply new knowledge and skills in
ambiguous, real-life encounters with patients who are living with
complicated health problems. Humanities-based education can help
both sides of the relationship: programs are shown to reduce
burnout and mental health issues in young physicians, and can also
help learning practitioners grapple with the most difficult aspects
of their craft: how does one persuade patients on a course of
treatment, while respecting informed consent? How does one work
with families? How does one listen to and treat patients exhibiting
self-harm tendencies? Available research may demonstrate the
efficacy of such exposures, but provide little practical advice or
resources for setting up programs across specialty and
sub-specialty disciplines. Health Humanities in Post-Graduate
Medical Education will fill this gap in knowledge translation for
the thousands of residency programs worldwide, allowing educators,
supervisors, and residents themselves to create robust and
educationally sound workshops, seminars, study groups, lecture
series, research and arts-based projects, publications and events.
