Enseñar y aprender Humanidades Médicas. Experiencia en la Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, Madrid, España. Parte 1

Abstract

Humanities are seen as both valuable and, at the same time, as soft, vague or prone to confusion disciplines. This paper exposes a broad view of how medical humanities education can be approached searching rigor. It aims to present a text that can be useful in this type of teaching. To this purpose, key elements from the biomedical literature are presented and, in addition, the humanities training program of the Faculty of Medicine of the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria is shown. This first part will include the organisational context, the expected learning outcomes and the curricular contents. A second part will present the learning and teaching experiences, the forms of student assessment and those of the continuous quality improvement process.
