At ISHM, we aim to unite healthcare professionals from all over the globe to promote an interdisciplinary approach towards medical ethics and holistic healing, both for ourselves and our patients.
WHAT IS HUMANISTIC MEDICINE?
Humanistic Medicine is focused towards a more holistic healing approach, i.e. treating not only the physical body but also healing the metaphysical soul.
HOW CAN WE INCLUDE IT IN OUR CLINICAL PRACTICES?
As an international medical fraternity, we are united in our efforts to learn and implement the various ways we can do so. This includes developing empathy, compassion, patience, and a willingness to grow and adapt according to our patients’ needs. We do this by incorporating narrative medicine and promoting patient empowerment in our practices as we ensure that the humanity of the patients is not neglected behind the science of pathologies and treatments. At this forum, we hope to discover how and have healthy discussions about how to be better clinicians and healers. Your contributions in this regard will be highly appreciated and valued!
