Abstract:

The amount of scientific and medical information students are expected to master is ever increasing. This may draw attention away from the human aspect of medicine - the reason most enter medical school in the first place. Medical humanities may help students remain empathetic, self-aware and reflective as they work to become excellent physicians.
