Unique Educational Initiatives
A wide variety of curricula and educational interventions have been created to advance medical humanism. This section will include methods for using creative arts like writing, drawing, and music to help patients, physicians, and nurses understand their medical experiences. Presenters will share educational initiatives that integrate ethics, advocacy, and humanism into the educational and professional development of training clinicians, as well as innovative ways to use humanism to address some of the more insidious and debilitating aspects of training (such as the “hidden curriculum”) that disrupt the training of all medical professionals. Finally, a discussion of best practices for using technology with patients in clinical settings and on-line will tackle the seeming paradox of melding humanism and technology.
