Abstract:
Whole Person Care education at McGill University aims to develop competent and compassionate physicians who can relate as a whole person to facilitate healing and provide better medical care to their patients. A step-by-step approach is adopted for the education throughout the four-year curriculum. It includes classes, experiential learning in small groups (20 students), simulation education, and panel discussions. It promotes interactive and unique experiential learning through a variety of exercises and works, and aims at transformational learning. It is essential to develop an attitude of being as a whole person, learning to be mindful and aware of the present moment (self, other and context).
