Medical Humanities as an Approach towards Health

Abstract

In recent years, the medical-pedagogical debate has been enriched with important contributions and literature, partly aimed at identifying a common and shared definition and name for the Medical Humanities, while also working to establish minimum ‘humanistic’ skills. Part of the recent discussion also focuses on the goal that trainers attempt to achieve through the design of an innovative educational approach and pathway that also involves the acquisition of transversal skills.
