	BioMed Central \| Full text \| Humanities for medical students? A qualitative study of a medical humanities curriculum ...
		Medical humanities can be defined as the application of the techniques of reporting, interpreting and theorising developed by the traditional humanities fields to phenomena within the traditional medical field [4].
		Medical humanities programs that exist within the context of a medical school have certain existential problems, because the space created for these programs is defined by the medical school.
		A problem addressed in the literature is that the nature of the rationalist approach to knowledge taken by the medical perspective means that "students' thinking rarely moves (or is moved) outside simple dualisms; qualitative data or inquiry is implicitly (and often explicitly) positioned as the theoretical and methodological converse of quantitative data or inquiry" [26].

	Penn State MD Program - Admissions - Humanities at Penn State
		The Department of Humanities, the first of its kind at any medical school, was created at the founding of the Penn State College of Medicine and was present when the first students were admitted in 1967.
		The introduction of a humanities curriculum for medical students was a response to rapidly increasing knowledge and technology in the biomedical sciences that sometimes tended to overwhelm medicine's traditional concern for human values.
		The purpose of this requirement is to revisit themes and concerns of the medical humanities that were introduced in a general way in the first two years, this time permitting students to bring their clinical knowledge and experience into direct engagement with humanistic perspectives.

	AMA (Virtual Mentor) Medical Humanities
		Professional medicine is composed of the medical student, house staff and attending physician, while the investment company consists of the financial analyst, vice president, and managing director.
		The majority of students had entered medical education directly from undergraduate school, and the idea of giving their opinion on the performance or behavior of their peers initially seemed awkward and unnecessary to them.
		It seems odd that, in light of the influence that residents have on medical students, a student’s feedback is solicited only at the completion of a rotation through an anonymous electronic survey and the results are not communicated back to a resident until several months later.

		Medical Humanities is dedicated to interdisciplinary exploration of how humanities disciplines can illuminate the nature, goals and practice of medicine, and to promote the integration of the humanities within medical education, research, and practice.
		It proposes, and seeks to establish and explore a conception of medicine as being more fully "a science of the human", in which scientific understanding of physical nature is permeated by humanistic understanding of experimental nature, manifested in the histories, narratives, reasoning and behaviour of patients as thinking, knowing, experiencing subjects.
		Medical Humanities (like the Journal of Medical Ethics) uses a simplified "Vancouver style" for references.
