A high-quality medical humanities education program is important for developing successful medical practitioners and can influence clinical performance. This study aimed to assess the correlation between the learning quality and quantity of medical humanities curriculums and medical students' performance, and found a significant correlation between them.
BackgroundA high-quality medical humanities (MH) education program is essential to developing a successful medical practitioner and can influence clinical performance. It is also vital to improve the evaluation of MH education to restore harmonious mutual relationships in medical care. However, studies have yet to discuss the correlation between the learning quality and quantity of medical humanities curriculums (MHC) and medical students' scores of clinical curriculums and clinical performance. The study aimed to assess the correlation between the learning quality and quantity of MHC and medical students' performance.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study by analyzing a dataset of students' learning records. After excluding students with missing demographic information (n = 1) and overseas Chinese students (n = 15), the study included six- and seven-year program medical school students (n = 354) at National Yang-Ming University who were admitted between 2012 and 2014. The correlation between learning quality and quantity in MHC and students' following performance was evaluated by multivariable-adjusted regression analyses.ResultsAfter adjusting for potential confounders (gender, residential area, age at enrollment, type of administration, and school program), the number of MHC with good learning outcomes was significantly correlated with clinical curriculum scores (p < 0.05), clerkship performance (p < 0.001), and weighted average mark (p < 0.001).ConclusionsOur study found a correlation between MHC with good learning outcomes and medical students' following performance. A future study of improving the quality of MH education is warranted.
