公开大学和公开大学的研究发现，医学院需要更多的艺术和人文学科

医学院继续在课程中增加艺术和人文学科, 但他们需要做得更多, according to a new study by four professors at Oakl和 University 和 OUWB.

“Integration of Arts 和 Humanities in 医疗教育: a Narrative Review” recently was published in the American Association for Cancer 教育’s 癌症教育杂志.

The four authors of the study are all from Oakl和 University: Rachel Smydra, Ph.D., professor, Department of English; Matthew May, Ph.D.社会学系副教授; 瓦尔纳Taranikanti, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor; 和对剧中Mi, Ph.D., professor, both from OUWB’s Department of Foundational 医疗 Studies.

The narrative review examined 文学 from about three dozen medical schools that showed educators are implementing didactic 和 experiential instructional approaches to embedding the arts, 人文学科, 将社会科学纳入医学院的课堂.

然而, 该审查建议“更慎重地尝试提供一致的, required course or 学习ing experiences that include elements of (arts 和人文学科) throughout educational programs.” The review also recommends that educators find ways to better measure the effectiveness of arts 和人文学科 in medical schools.

Mi says the review is all about shining light on the important role medical educators play in helping future health care providers get in touch with themselves so that they can eventually form the best possible connection with their patients.

“仅仅照顾病人是不够的，”她说.

“你必须真正理解情绪, 与他人的关系以及这种关系如何影响你的感受, human culture 和 how that might affect a patient’s perception of illness.”

“如果医生不关注这些感觉和情绪, 病人更有可能不接受治疗,米补充道。.

她说，这就是艺术和人文学科可以发挥作用的地方.

“不仅仅是精通基础科学”

根据美国医学院协会(AAMC), “a growing evidence base suggests that 学习ing experiences that integrate arts 和人文学科 within curricula may lead to a variety of important 学习ing outcomes.”

“These include skills-based outcomes such as honing observation 和 interpretation skills, 关系结果，比如同理心, 沟通, 和团队合作, transformational outcomes at the level of professional identity formation 和 advocacy.”

The review by OU 和 OUWB faculty notes that AAMC changed the 医疗 College Admission Test (MCAT) in 2015 “to highlight an increased need for medical schools to embed components of liberal arts in their curricula.”

That has led medical educators to implement more connections to creative writing, 文学, 剧院, 电影, 音乐, 将视觉艺术纳入他们的课程.

米说喜欢一本书或一部电影 有人飞越了疯人院 may help students underst和 challenges for patients with mental illnesses; 音乐 may help reduce stress, 绘画可能有助于解释和观察技能.

在OUWB, 有些课程融入了音乐元素, 比如看歌剧, 而其他包括医疗即兴表演和写作叙述, 仅举几个例子.

“By adding sections on behavioral 和 social sciences 和 critical analysis 和 reasoning to the MCAT, AAMC’s actions acknowledged it takes more than proficiency in basic sciences to become a competent 和 compassionate physician,评论中写道。.

从AAMC得到了启示, Mi says in 2019 she led the formation of Oakl和 University’s Learning 社区 for Integrating Arts 和 Humanities to Health Professions 教育, established through the OU Center for Excellence in Teaching 和 Learning.

“集体学习”

开放大学学习社区是教师的论坛, 工作人员, 让学生去探索, 学习, 讨论, investigate how the integration of arts 和人文学科 impacts health profession students.

Mi says she wanted a group of faculty members from various disciplines to participate so that they “could work together, 集体学习, provide events to help students 学习 the importance of those disciplines.”
