Medical Humanities and Metacognition: Modern Medicine’s Missing Links

  • Gabriela-Paula Florea

摘要

After having presented the knowledge gaps within the modern doctor-patient relationship, this final chapter aims to address these gaps by proposing metacognition as a tool for meta-level thinking in the doctor-patient dyad and medical humanities as a means to develop explicit metacognitive thinking in clinical practice for covering the humanity entirely in the clinical setting—medical professionals’ as much as patients’ well-being. In reaching this desideratum, the subsequent sections examine a conservative medical education and practice model, contrasting with humanity-evolving ones, emphasising the need for medical humanities programmes to reach the shift in mentality rather than solely pursuing paradigm shifts. Without this focus, a further overanalysis risks stagnation whilst medical education and clinical medicine become outdated, which could result in a high-tech but “low-touch” future where humanistic care is further diminished, leaving unsatisfied patients and medical professionals in burnout.
