Abstract

Medical students are educated ininnumerable aspects of basic medicine, such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, haematology, immunology, genetics etc. However humanistic aspects of medicine have attracted attention in recent years and is recognised as a important aspect in medicine now. The cultivation of humanities courses, such as medical ethics, medical history, psychology, sociology, and medical history helps to prepare students for their transformation from medical students to skilful medical professionals. It’s importance is being increasingly recognised now all across the globe. Both Western and Indian medical colleges include a variety of medical humanistic classes for undergraduate students. Although education in medical humanistic has undergone many changes, it still requires improvement and educators also need to learn. Humanities will help young minds to become better human being and hence a better doctor. Medical humanity is increasingly being recognised as the soul of health education
