Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student will be able to:
critically analyse models of individual behaviour and group dynamics, useful for the management of both patients in healthcare and the relationships in multidisciplinary teams
Explain theoretical frame, aims and approaches of narrative-based medicine, linking medical humanities to this approach
Discuss why medical humanities were introduced in healthcare professionals' education, focusing on aims and learning outcomes that adults can reach through this approach
Give examples of "texts" that can be utilized when planning paths of medical humanities for healthcare professionals
Explain why a "pedagogy of the body" is needed in the education of healthcare professionals, and give examples of activities that can enhance the experience of body-as-lived in students/professionals
Experiment in first person the reactions and the reflections that art (novels, paintings, movies) can promote in the student
Plan a program in undergraduate or postgraduate or continuing education based on the medical humanities, pointing out learning needs, methods/materials that will be utilized and how the program will be evaluated
