Association for Medical Humanities

The Association for Medical Humanities is a professional organization that brings together scholars, healthcare professionals, and artists to explore the human side of medicine. It promotes the study of how literature, history, philosophy, and the arts can enhance understanding of patient care, ethical issues, and the emotional aspects of healthcare. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, the association aims to improve medical practice, empathy, and communication, ultimately enriching the relationship between patients and providers and emphasizing the importance of humanism in medicine.
