    Abstract

    In nomenclatural terms Medical Humanities is a relatively new discipline. Originating
    in the United States and Australia almost simultaneously, Medical Humanities is seen by many as a means of ‘making better doctors’ by adopting analytical and methodological strategies from the humanities and importing them into medical education.
