As such, he worked with his colleagues to design a course structured around classic literacy work.<sup><xref rid="R2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref></sup></p><p>In 1984, Cassell published an opinion article through the Hastings Center pointing out that the contribution of humanities to medicine is recognized as the shift in medicine from considering the diseases only to seeing a sick person.<sup><xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref></sup> In 1993, the General Medical Council in the UK also highlighted the importance of the humanities in medicine by suggesting its integration into curriculum in undergraduate medical education for communication skills, ethical and legal issues relevant to clinical practice, respect for patients and colleagues, and patients’ rights in all respects.<sup><xref rid="R4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref></sup></p><p>In Taiwan, undergraduate medical education reform started in the 1990s. In 1998, the National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation in the US pointed out several drawbacks in Taiwan's undergraduate medical education and also judged Taiwan's undergraduate medical education as noncomparable.<sup><xref rid="R5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref></sup> As such, the comments regarding Taiwan's undergraduate medical education further facilitated the birth of Taiwan's Medical Accreditation Council, as well as undergraduate medical education reform, with a particular focus on the integration of the humanities courses to undergraduate medical curriculum.<sup><xref rid="R6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref></sup></p><p>Medical humanities not only can nurture medical students’ critical thinking, but also their understanding of personal values, empathy, cultural competence, leadership, and teamwork, thus preparing medical students for responding appropriately to complicated clinical problems.<sup><xref rid="R7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref></sup> Given that incorporating medical humanities into a medical school's curriculum promotes the development of empathetic, compassionate, and culturally sensitive physicians,<sup><xref rid="R8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref></sup> medical humanities are attracting more and more attention in present medical education.<sup><xref rid="R8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>–<xref rid="R10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref></sup></p><p>Several studies in Taiwan have shown that the outcomes of medical humanities courses are not satisfactory.<sup><xref rid="R11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>,<xref rid="R12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref></sup> A study conducted in Taiwan by Tsui and colleagues examined the evolution of medical humanities education using in-depth interviews. For designing a medical humanities curriculum, they suggested borrowing the experiences of scholars who specialized in liberal arts, for example, Chinese literature, Taiwanese literature, history, philosophy, and so on.<sup><xref rid="R13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref></sup> Medical humanities courses taught by the scholars specializing in liberal arts rather than in medicine-related fields are not unusual; for example, the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine in the US reported that some of its medical humanities courses, such as “Healing and Humanities”, “Healing and the Arts”, “Medicine and Law”, and so on, were taught solely by non-MDs.<sup><xref rid="R14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref></sup></p><p>Although medical humanities courses taught by teachers from nonmedical backgrounds are not unusual now, few studies have examined the outcome of medical humanities problem-based learning (PBL) courses. The objectives of this study were (1) to examine the satisfaction of medical students with medical humanities PBL classes facilitated by the teaching assistants with strong backgrounds in liberal arts, and those facilitated by the attending physicians and (2) to examine the satisfaction of medical students with clinical medicine-related (CMR) and clinical medicine-unrelated (CMU) medical humanities PBL classes.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials"><title>MATERIALS AND METHODS</title><sec><title>Medical Humanities Course</title><p>A two-credit medical humanities PBL course was required for the second year medical students. The medical students were randomly assigned to 16 groups. There were 16 subjects in the PBL course. Each week, each group rotated from 1 subject of the 16 subjects of PBL to another subject. All of the 16 groups went through all the 16 subjects in the semester (Appendix 1).</p><p>The 16 subjects were numbered consecutively from 1 to 16. The 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, and 15th subjects were Taiwanese Literature, Traditional Chinese Opera, Medical Ethics, Music, Art History, Western Opera, Art Collections in the Children's Hospital, and English, respectively. Each subject had 1 to 4 different topics from which medical students chose 1 topic for PBL. Please refer to Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">1</xref> for further details about the subjects and topics for the medical humanities PBL course.</p><table-wrap id="T1" position="float"><label>TABLE 1</label><caption><p>The Subjects and Topics of the Medical Humanities Problem-Based Learning Classes Facilitated by Teaching Assistants With Backgrounds in the Related Fields of Liberal Arts</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="medi-95-e2765-g001"></graphic></table-wrap><p>Each of the odd-numbered subjects of PBL classes was facilitated by a teaching assistant (teaching assistant-facilitated, TAF) who was either a current master's student in a related field in the College of Liberal Arts, or already had a master's degree in a related field from the College of Liberal Arts.</p><p>All of the even-numbered subjects of PBL classes were facilitated by an attending physician (attending physician-facilitated, APF). The subject for each PBL class was selected from a group of subjects agreed upon by all the participating attending physicians as medical humanities-related subjects. Those subjects included “Narrative Medicine,” “Modern Medical History in the Western World,” “Diseases and History,” and so on. In addition, the attending physician and the medical students of the same group were also allowed to develop the medical humanities-related subjects which they were interested in for the PBL and conducted the subject they developed in the APF PBL classes.</p></sec><sec><title>Data Collection</title><p>The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee in National Taiwan University Hospital (201302003W). Data for this study were prospectively collected from February 25 to June 10 in 2013. To rate the satisfaction with the PBL, a rating score was collected after each PBL was completed, with a scale from 0 (the lowest satisfaction) to 100 (the highest satisfaction). Therefore, each medical student had a determined satisfaction score with each of the 16 subjects. We also collected the following as independent variables: sex of the medical student, age of the medical student while the PBL was carried out, the means of entering medical school categorized as a writing exam or oral exam, and whether the PBL was facilitated by a teaching assistant with a background in liberal arts.</p></sec><sec><title>Data Analyses</title><p>For examining the satisfaction with the TAF medical humanities PBL classes and the APF medical humanities PBL classes, all the satisfaction scores were included in the data analyses. In examining the satisfaction with CMR and CMU medical humanities PBL classes, we excluded the satisfaction scores with the APF medical humanities PBL classes, and also excluded the satisfaction scores of the TAF medical humanities PBL classes that had only 1 topic in the subject.</p><p>We used student <italic>t</italic> test to examine the association between a dichotomous variable and a continuous variable, and Chi-square test to examine the association of 2 dichotomous variables. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to test the normality of distribution for the dependent variable—satisfaction score. Multivariate linear regression analysis was conducted to examine the association between the independent variables and the dependent variable. The assumptions of multivariate linear regression models were tested using variance inflation factor (VIF), White test, and Durbin-Watson test for multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation, respectively. A <italic>P</italic> ≤ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. All statistical analyses were conducted using STATA MP 11.0 (StataCorp, College Station, TX) for Windows PC.</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="results"><title>RESULTS</title><p>Eight medical students were excluded from this study because they were international students and entered the medical school through a different way other than a writing or oral exam for domestic students. A total of 123 (93.89%) medical students were included for this study. Each group had 7 to 9 medical students.</p><p>A total of 1924 (97.76%) satisfaction scores were received. Fort-four satisfaction scores were missing because of unknown reasons (18 missing values), students not attending the class (8 missing values), and cancelled classes (18 missing values).

We found that the medical students were more satisfied with the medical humanities PBL classes facilitated by the teaching assistants having strong backgrounds in the related fields of liberal arts than those facilitated by the attending physicians. We also found that the medical students were more satisfied with the clinical medicine-unrelated topics in the medical humanities PBL course than those of the clinical medicine-related topics.</p></sec><sec><title>The Approaches to Learning Medical Humanities</title><p>The number of medical humanities courses have been increasing in medical schools.<sup><xref rid="R15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref></sup> However, several studies have pointed out weaknesses of present medical humanities education using lecture, problem-based learning, and bed-side discussion.<sup><xref rid="R16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>–<xref rid="R18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref></sup> Wu et al<sup><xref rid="R11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref></sup> conducted a qualitative study to examine 11 medical students’ attitudes toward medical humanities courses. They found that medical students were concerned about the inconsistency between learning objectives and courses content, and that medical students preferred more PBL courses than lectures for medical humanities. Kao et al<sup><xref rid="R12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref></sup> examined 32 participants’ attitudes toward medical humanities courses. They reported that medical students saw medical humanities courses as useless to their future career because those disciplines were not part of Physicians’ Licensing Exam. Therefore, medical students tended to have a passive attitude toward medical humanities courses according to those studies.</p><p>In the 3-P model for student learning proposed by Biggs,<sup><xref rid="R19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref></sup> an integrated system composed of 3 main components including Presage, Process, and Product. The Process determines the way a student goes about learning, including the motives for learning and the strategies for engaging in the process of learning to reach the intended outcomes. The combination of motives and strategies forms 3 approaches to learning: (1) a deep approach, for example, understanding meaning and using information; (2) a surface approach, for example, memorizing fact and reproducing information; and (3) an achieving approach, for example, obtaining the highest grades.<sup><xref rid="R20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref></sup></p><p>PBL has been introduced to medical education by Dr Barrows since the 1960s. This pedagogy was defined by Dr Barrows as (1) student-directed learning; (2) learning done in a small group, ideally 6 to 10 students; (3) a problem that forms the basis for the focus and stimulates learning; (4) the problem is a vehicle for the development of problem-solving skills, and also stimulates the cognitive process; and (5) students in the small group obtain new knowledge through self-directed learning.<sup><xref rid="R21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref></sup> In addition, it has been recognized that PBL may potentially promote a deep approach compared with conventional teaching, that is, lecture.<sup><xref rid="R22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref></sup> Reid et al<sup><xref rid="R23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref></sup> reported that several key factors may encourage a deep approach and discourage surface approach to learning medical humanities: (1) appropriate workload for the learners; (2) clear goals and informative feedback; (3) clear, enthusiastic, empathic teaching focused on promoting conceptual change; (4) freedom of choice over learning content and method; (5) assessment that students perceive to reward understanding; and (6) assessment through written work rather than multiple-choice questions. As such, our medical humanities PBL course, which complied with several of these key factors, was expected to encourage a deep approach to learning medical humanities and to a better learning outcome compared with those taught by conventional teaching, that is, lecture.</p></sec><sec><title>Medical Humanities to Promote Patient-Centered Medical Care</title><p>In 1927, Dr Francis Peabody of Harvard Medical School addressed his concern about the lack of humanities training by pointing out “… young graduates have been taught a great deal about the mechanism of disease, …, they are too “scientific” and do not know how to take care of patients.”<sup><xref rid="R24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref></sup> Including humanities courses in medical education may potentially provide significant benefits not only to future physicians but also to society as a whole. Those benefits may include enhancing their skills to communicate with patients, family members, and peers,<sup><xref rid="R25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref></sup> increasing their ability to observe and recognize diagnostic findings,<sup><xref rid="R26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>,<xref rid="R27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref></sup> as well as promoting their empathy and positive attitudes toward psychological aspects of medical encounters.<sup><xref rid="R28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref></sup></p><p>There is an increasing consensus that medical humanities are good for promoting a patient-centered approach to medical care,<sup><xref rid="R29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>,<xref rid="R30" ref-type="bibr">30</xref></sup> which is also highly emphasized in current clinical practice. It is suggested <sup><xref rid="R28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref></sup> that medical students who have been immersed more in humanities are more likely to have positive attitudes toward patient-centered issues and the psychosocial aspects of patient care as indicated by an empathy questionnaire <sup><xref rid="R31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref></sup> and the Attitudes Towards Social Issues in Medicine questionnaire.<sup><xref rid="R32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref></sup> As recommended by “Physicians for the Twenty-First Century,” premedical education should be focused on broad and general education including scientific and nonscientific disciplines, not to prepare medical students specifically for medical sciences.<sup><xref rid="R33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref></sup> Accordingly, medical humanities courses, as part of the general education for medical students, are mainly conducted in the first and second year for the medical students in National Taiwan University College of Medicine.<sup><xref rid="R34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref></sup></p><p>No precise definition of medical humanities has been presented in the literature.<sup><xref rid="R35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref></sup> Our medical humanities course further extended the boundary of medical humanities by 2 folds: (1) to include nonmedical subjects and topics such as Taiwanese Literature, Traditional Chinese Opera, Music, Art History, Western Opera, Art Collections in the Children's Hospital, and English (Appendix 1) and (2) to invite nonmedical teachers, particularly from liberal arts, to facilitate the PBL classes.</p><p>To clearly identify a convincing and widely acceptable indicator to measure the outcome of medical humanities courses is challenging. As reported by Schwartz Wershof et al,<sup><xref rid="R35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref></sup> the majority of outcome measures for medical humanities courses in the literature were empathy,<sup><xref rid="R36" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>,<xref rid="R37" ref-type="bibr">37</xref></sup> professionalism,<sup><xref rid="R38" ref-type="bibr">38</xref></sup> and medical students’ self-care.<sup><xref rid="R39" ref-type="bibr">39</xref></sup> As indicated by medical students’ satisfaction, the outcome of this innovative course showed that medical students liked nonmedical teaching assistants as facilitators in the PBL classes, as well as the clinical medicine-unrelated topics in the PBL classes.</p></sec><sec><title>Strengths and Limitations</title><p>Our study first examined the outcome of the medical humanities PBL course facilitated by the teaching assistants with a strong background in liberal arts as indicated by the medical students’ satisfaction scores. In addition, we also reported that medical students were more satisfied with discussing clinical medicine-unrelated humanities issues rather than clinical medicine-related humanities issues.</p><p>Nevertheless, there are some limitations in this study. The first limitation is the generalizability issue. This is a single-center study, and the medical students enrolled in this medical school mostly are ranked in the top 1 percentile on the writing exam, the University Entrance Exam. Therefore, the study results may be limited to be extrapolated to other medical schools.</p><p>The second limitation is using the satisfaction scores as the outcome measure to evaluate a new course. Satisfaction with a class only implied the medical students’ perception of the overall class, thus lacking any rich information regarding which element of the class worked well. For example, we did not know whether high satisfaction with a class was attributed to the teaching assistant's endeavor to facilitate the PBL class, or the content of the PBL class. To measure whether medical students’ empathy and professionalism change would be better than to measure satisfaction, however, to end up by proposing that a medical humanities course can promote a medical student's empathy or professionalism is also problematic.</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="conclusion"><title>CONCLUSION</title><p>Our medical humanities PBL course, including nonmedical subjects and topics, and nonmedical teaching assistants from liberal arts as class facilitators, was satisfactory. Our study also showed that the extent of the definition of humanities by medical students was broader as indicated by their higher satisfaction with immersing themselves in clinical medicine-unrelated humanities topics. This pedagogical approach of student-centered, nonmedical topics, nonmedical facilitators, and small groups, which may be associated with a deep approach to learning medical humanities, should be highly encouraged. In addition, future studies may be focused on examining various parts of the outcome of medical humanities PBL courses.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Supplementary Material</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="SD1"><caption><title>Supplemental Digital Content</title></caption><media mimetype="application" mime-subtype="pdf" xlink:href="medi-95-e2765-s001.doc" xlink:type="simple" id="d36e528" position="anchor"></media></supplementary-material></sec></body><back><ack><title>Acknowledgement</title><p>The authors would like to thank Dr Kuan-Han Lin for her assistance in statistical analyses.</p></ack><fn-group><fn fn-type="abbr"><p>Abbreviations: APF = attending physicians-facilitated classes, CMR = clinical medicine-related classes, CMU = clinical medicine-unrelated classes, PBL = problem-based learning, TAF = teaching assistants-facilitated classes, TMAC = Taiwan's Medical Accreditation Council.</p></fn><fn fn-type="supported-by"><p>This study was supported by research grants from Taiwan Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST 101–2511-S-002–010-MY3 and MOST 103–2511-S-002–008-MY5).</p></fn><fn fn-type="conflict"><p>The authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose.</p></fn></fn-group><ref-list><title>REFERENCES</title><ref id="R1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation publication-type="book"><collab>Wikipedia</collab>. <source>Medical Humanities</source>. <comment><ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_humanities">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_humanities</ext-link></comment><date-in-citation>Accessed December 16, 2015</date-in-citation><comment>In press</comment>.</mixed-citation></ref><ref id="R2"><label>2.</label><mixed-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Moore</surname><given-names>AR</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Sounding board.
