Medicine’s Human Dimensions
The Humanities section explores the subjective dimensions of medicine that complement scientific knowledge, including the stories, experiences, cultural contexts, and ethical questions that shape health and healing. Through art, history, narrative, and reflection, this content reminds us that medicine is fundamentally a humanistic discipline centered on people, not just biology. Engaging with diverse perspectives sharpens essential skills like empathy, communication, and critical thinking while highlighting how our identities and experiences impact care. In an era when technology and systems can create distance between patients and providers, the humanities reorient us to what matters most: compassionate, human-centered practice that honors both science and the individual.
