Title
Can the science of communication inform the art of the medical humanities?
Authors
Bleakley, Alan; Marshall, Robert
Abstract
There is increasing interest in establishing the medical humanities as core integrated provision in undergraduate medicine curricula, but sceptics point to the lack of evidence for their impact upon patient care. Further, the medical humanities culture has often failed to provide a convincing theoretical rationale for the inclusion of the arts and humanities in medical education.
