Medical humanities is an interdisciplinary field of medicine which includes the humanities literature , philosophy , ethics , history and religion , social science anthropology , cultural studies , psychology , sociology , and the arts literature , theater , film , and visual arts and their application to medical education and practice. The humanities and arts provide insight into the human condition, suffering, personhood, our responsibility to each other, and offer a historical perspective on medical practice. Attention to literature and the arts helps to develop and nurture skills of observation, analysis, empathy, and self reflection skills that are essential for humane medical care. The social sciences help us to understand how bioscience and medicine take place within cultural and social contexts and how culture interacts with the individual experience of illness and the way medicine is practiced.
