Abstract:
On October 9， 2024， the General Office of the National Health Commission， the General Office of the Ministry of Education， the General Department of the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine， and the General Department of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention jointly issued the Action Plan for Enhancing Medical Humanistic Care （2024-2027）， stating that medical humanistic spirit is a concrete manifestation of humanistic spirit in the medical field. Aiming at caring for and respecting patients， this spirit reflects the attitude of medicine towards life. The cultivation of medical humanistic care competencies should serve as a core element of modern medical education， running through the entire process of the medical students’ training system and the full stage of medical workers’ career development. The humanities team of Harbin Medical University pioneered the “consistent system” concept of medical humanities education， inherited the “four-stage” with clinical practice as the primary approach， and closely focused on “three combinations， two considerations， and one assessment.” Through deeply integrating medicine with the humanities， as well as theory with practice， they have embarked on a distinctive implementation path of medical humanities， laying a solid foundation for the cultivation of high-quality medical talents with both skills and expertise in practice.
