The Medical Humanities Program at Dalhousie University Faculty of Medicine in Nova Scotia, Canada, was initiated in 1992 to incorporate the medical humanities into the learning and experiences of medical students. The goal of the program was to gain acceptance as an integral part of the medical school. The program assumed a broad concept of the medical humanities that includes medical history, literature, music, art, multiculturalism, philosophy, epistemology, theology, anthropology, professionalism, history of alternative therapies, writing, storytelling, health law, international medicine, and ethics. Phase I of the program has provided the same elective and research opportunities in the medical humanities that are available to the students in clinical and basic sciences, and has encouraged and legitimized the involvement of the humanities in the life and learning of the medical student through a wide array of programs and activities. Phase II will focus on further incorporation of the humanities into the curriculum. Phase III will be the development of a graduate program in medical humanities to train more faculty who will incorporate the humanities into their teaching and into the development of education programs.
加拿大新斯科舍省达尔豪斯大学医学院的医学人文项目始于1992年，旨在将医学人文融入医学生的学习和经历中。该项目的目标是被接纳为医学院不可或缺的一部分。该项目采用了广泛的医学人文概念，包括医学史、文学、音乐、艺术、多元文化主义、哲学、认识论、神学、人类学、职业素养、替代疗法史、写作、讲故事、健康法、国际医学和伦理学。该项目的第一阶段为医学生提供了与临床和基础科学专业学生相同的医学人文选修和研究机会，并通过一系列项目和活动鼓励人文科学参与医学生的生活和学习，并使其合法化。第二阶段将专注于进一步将人文科学融入课程。第三阶段将是开展医学人文研究生项目，以培养更多将人文科学融入教学和教育项目开发的教师。
