A pioneering, voluntary Medical Humanities (MH) module was conducted at the Manipal College of Medical Sciences, Pokhara, Nepal using small-group interactive sessions, literature and art excerpts, case scenarios, role-plays, and debates.
Participant feedback was obtained using focus-group discussions and reflective writing assignments. Medicine and the Arts, Ethics and Medicine, and Social Issues in Medicine were the three main units. Students from the third, fifth, and sixth semester and "interested" faculty members participated.
Learning the humanities had a number of advantages. Role-plays were an enjoyable and effective learning methodology. The module would be of help in individualizing treatment to specific patients. Other topics can be considered. Faculty and students learning together was an enjoyable experience.
The participants enjoyed being a part of the module. More literature and art excerpts from Nepal and South Asia should be used. MH can help to orient practice in a Nepalese/South Asian sociocultural context.
在尼泊尔博克拉的玛尼帕尔医学院，开展了一项开创性的、自愿的医学人文学（MH）模块，使用小组互动式会议、文学和艺术节选、案例场景、角色扮演和辩论。
使用焦点小组讨论和反思性写作作业获得参与者的反馈。医学与艺术、伦理与医学和医学中的社会问题是三个主要单元。来自第三、第五和第六学期的学生和“感兴趣”的教师成员参加了。
学习人文学科有很多好处。角色扮演是一种有趣且有效的学习方法。该模块将有助于针对特定患者进行个性化治疗。可以考虑其他主题。教师和学生一起学习是一种愉快的体验。
参与者喜欢成为该模块的一部分。应该使用更多来自尼泊尔和南亚的文学和艺术节选。MH 可以帮助在尼泊尔/南亚社会文化背景下指导实践。
