Over the past forty years, the health humanities, previously called the medical humanities, has emerged as one of the most exciting fields for interdisciplinary scholarship, advancing humanistic inquiry into bioethics, human rights, health care and the uses of technology. It has also helped inspire medical practitioners to engage in deeper reflection about the human elements of their practice.
