Medical humanities are important disciplines in the education of healthcare professionals to achieve the goal oftraining healthcare professionals with a deep understanding of human beings and society. In this study, we investigated thescope of humanities and social science education proposed by the accreditation criteria of healthcare professional colleges,including medical, dentistry, oriental medicine, and nursing schools in Korea. Specific curricula related to humanitieseducation were investigated from 19 medical schools, nine dentistry schools, 12 oriental medical schools, and 18 nursingschools. The most frequently offered liberal arts courses were English and writing, while major courses included ethics,regulations, communication, psychology, history, and management. Humanities courses tend to be placed in lower gradesand social sciences in higher grades, but overall, education in humanities and social studies is spread throughout the entireschool grades. This result would be an important reference in designing humanities and social medicine curricula integratedwith six-year pharmacy school educational programs. Subjects such as pharmacy ethics, professionalism, pharmacycommunication, history of pharmacy, healthcare policies and health insurance, regional public health and health promotion,management, and evidence-based pharmacy are suggested. Further discussions on the best selection of subjects andteaching methods should be continued.
