The medical humanities, an umbrella term for the fields of ethics, social science, and fine arts, are increasingly recognized as an important component of medical education. Since the Flexner report, the primacy of science and evidence-based medicine has replaced subjectivity and nuance. While this has been critical for standardization of care and patient safety, an exclusive emphasis on science in undergraduate medical education can devalue more humanistic pursuits. Modern medicine is now plagued with burnout, pandemics, and societal ills that permeate into medicine. Addressing these requires a thoughtful, holistic approach where we extend our sights beyond strict evidence-based medicine.
医学人文学科是伦理学、社会科学和美术等领域的统称，越来越被视为医学教育的重要组成部分。自《弗莱克斯纳报告》以来，科学和循证医学的首要地位取代了主观性和细微差别。虽然这对护理标准化和患者安全至关重要，但本科医学教育中对科学的排他性强调可能会贬低更多人文追求。现代医学如今饱受倦怠、流行病和渗透到医学领域的社会弊病之苦。解决这些问题需要一种深思熟虑的整体方法，即我们要将视野拓展到严格的循证医学之外。
