Medical Teacher, 10/16/09

Gulpinar MA et al. – In general, the HIM program was evaluated as moderate or above moderate by 60–80% of the students. Content and thematic analysis of student reports showed that there was a rich variety in individual definitions, descriptions of causal relationships and suggestions for possible solutions about themes medicalization and stigmatization. Student reports on the case were analysed in concordance with psychologic and social parameters. As a conclusion these results showed that program goals were mainly achieved and the multidisciplinary, preclinical HIM program can be seen as efficient starting point to complement the biologic perspective of medical education with a social and humanistic perspective.
