Abstract

|
|
There has been a recent tendency to attach special importance to writing education. Books on ¡¯writing to heal¡¯ are being written in or translated into Korean. According to these texts, writing is a valuable tool for internal healing, depending on the mode of application. Writing can have positive effects and give hope to an individual or group, but it can also be a source of frustration and despair. Based on the distinct effects of writing, we cannot overemphasize the significance of writing education. Writing is generally taught during a premedical course that targets students who will eventually practice medicine. Many reports have examined immorality in medical students and health care providers, which is a reason that writing education is important for medical systems. ¡¯Writing for Healing¡¯ is open to freshmen at Yonsei University Wonju College of Medicine. The aim of this subject is to help students identify and acknowledge internal diseases to lead a healthier life and eventually become positive and responsible health care providers. However, in addition to the vague definition of what ¡¯healing¡¯ is, the concept of ¡¯writing for healing¡¯ has not been defined. This paper attempts to define the concept of ¡¯writing for healing¡¯ and considers what influences it can have on a humanities curriculum in medical colleges.
