Abstract

The more technical the teaching of medicine is, the more necessary the humanistic side becomes; medicine is at the crossroads between Science and the humanities; an uncertain science, perhaps. This Pop-Up event will have two sections. First, a short video recorded at the 2nd The Doctor as a Humanist symposium (Moscow, April 2019) will show what we are doing to bring back the humanities to medical education; to ask “why” the humanities are so important, and “how” we can reintroduce them to medical education. Second, we wish to debate these topics to raise interest and extend our community.
