Humanities and Human Values in Medical Education

Pellegrino, Edmund D.

Phi Kappa Phi Journal, 58, 2, 13-7, Spr 78

The teaching of humanities and human values in medical schools has resulted from public concern about value decisions in medicine and from dissatisfaction of patients with the doctor-patient interaction. The Institute on Human Values in Medicine, Yale-New Haven, provides support to medical centers concerned about these issues. (SW)
