Humanities teaching was introduced at Stony Brook University School of Medicine by Edmund Pellegrino, the first dean of the Medical School and founder of the Health Sciences Center. Since 1990, "Medicine in Society" has been a substantial presence throughout the curriculum, introducing students to the perspectives of a wide range of humanities disciplines as they apply to health care, and continuing as a sustained presence throughout the four years of training. Medicine in Society serves as a reminder that medicine is a human and communal endeavor, situated in sociocultural contexts, reliant on human values, and articulated most often through narratives. The authors describe the structure and function of the Medicine in Society curriculum and the Institute for Medicine in Contemporary Society, summarize their evaluation of the program, and outline their plans for meeting current and future challenges.
医学人文教学由石溪大学医学院首任院长、健康科学中心创始人埃德蒙·佩莱格里诺引入该校医学院。自1990年以来，“社会中的医学”在整个课程体系中占据重要地位，引导学生了解众多人文学科在医疗保健领域的应用视角，并在四年的培训中持续存在。“社会中的医学”提醒人们，医学是一项人类共同的事业，存在于社会文化背景之中，依赖于人类价值观，且大多通过叙事来表达。作者描述了“社会中的医学”课程体系以及当代社会医学研究所的结构与功能，总结了他们对该项目的评估，并概述了应对当前及未来挑战的计划。
