ABSTRACT:
Studying medicine comprises the extensive acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes. However, humanism in medicine, which combines scientific knowledge and skills with respectful, compassionate care that is sensitive to the values, autonomy, and cultural backgrounds of patients and their families, is often neglected by teachers, physicians, medical students and the medical curricula. However, a humanistic approach is indispensable in the medical field.
