Abstract:
The nature of practice in the health profession goes beyond technical intervention alone. It encompasses the humanistic dimensions, relationships, interactions, emotions…etc. and calls for skills that transcend the technical domain. Curricula and study programs in the health sciences suffer from a sheer lack or even absence of training in the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) such as history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology despite their importance in the exercise of health professions.
