Teaching Social Sciences and Humanities in Medicine, Allied Health and Social Care

Dear Colleagues,

Teaching social sciences and humanities to students on medical and health courses, such as medicine, allied health (including nursing, midwifery, physiotherapy, pharmacy), and social care, has been acknowledged as challenging and demanding. Educators on such courses commonly make a special effort to gain and maintain students’ interest and show the relevance of social sciences and humanities for their future healthcare practice. This Topic welcomes contributions on teaching and learning social sciences in its broadest sense (including sociology, psychology, anthropology, medical and health humanities, etc.), around curriculum development for healthcare and allied healthcare education, and/or how social sciences and medical humanities have contributed to students’ development as professionals and helped the communities they serve and the patients receiving healthcare. Research articles, reviews, and perspective and concept papers are welcomed. In the event that your work is not reflected in the above description and you are interested in submitting to this Topic, please contact Professor Costas S. Constantinou constantinou.c@unic.ac.cy.
