의과대학생의 영화예술 융합교육 기반 의료현장에 대한 인식 분석

Abstract

Background: The need for interdisciplinary integrative education in medical humanities has been increasingly emphasized to cultivate holistic physicians. This study aims to develop a learner-centered curriculum by applying an arts-based integrative approach.

Methods: To this end, a qualitative study was conducted to investigate and analyze the perceptions of medical students through in-depth interviews following art-based indirect experiential learning. The subjects of this study were 21 medical students at K University. The study examined students’ perceptions of medical themes presented in films and explored how the arts and interdisciplinary education can impact the content and methodology of medical humanities education.

Results: Following the indirect experiential learning, students’ perceptions in the medical field were categorized into four domains: physicians’ communication, medical ethical issues, physicians’ self-management, and medical education for clinical setting. A total of 12 themes were identified within these domains.

Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, the following points of discussion arise in medical education: First, both direct and indirect experiential learning, facilitated by arts-based, learner- centered education, are necessary. Second, the shared learning experiences based on reciprocity are important. Third, integrative education is needed to be composed within the integrated medical curriculum. Fourth, experiential and reflective education is needed for cultivating professionalism. The conclusion of this study suggests the professionalism education as a form of integrative education within the integrated medical curriculum, based on the points of discussion. The integrative educational approach to medical humanities, proposed in this study, may offer diverse ideas for the development and implementation of an integrated medical curriculum.
