|
Recently, medical humanities education has begun to take up an increased proportion of the Korean medical curriculum. Many people now agree that not only basic medicine and clinical medicine but also medical humanities is needed in medical education. The aims of medical humanities education should dawn now. ‘Medical humanities’ can be roughly defined as “the interdisciplinary study and activity at the intersection of the humanities, social science, arts, and medicine.” People tend to assume that the aim of medical humanities education is to produce good doctors, that is, physicians who contribute to society. Actually, cultivating good doctors is one of the proper aims of medical humanities education. In addition to it, another aim of medical humanities education should be cultivating happy doctors. Nowadays, many of Korea’s physicians feel unhappy. In such a situation, medical humanities education should be aimed at developing happiness in medical trainees.
