The Hope Babette Tang Humanism in Healthcare Essay Contest asks medical and nursing students to engage in a reflective writing exercise that illustrates an experience where they or a team member worked to ensure that humanism was at the core of care.
For the 2014 contest, medical students were asked to write an essay using the following prompt: “Using a real life experience, describe how technology played a role, either negatively or positively, in the delivery of humanistic patient care.”
