Abstract
In this video, Associate Professor Susan Levine and Professor Steve Reid from the University of Cape Town introduce the purpose and design of the Medicine and the Arts Massive Open Online Course. They introduce the concept of medical humanities as a pedagogy to assist in the education and training of medical students in South Africa, addressing the specific social and cultural experiences of healthcare in South Africa and how an interdisciplinary approach between the humanities and medical science can provide a useful lens for addressing the healthcare needs of the country. This is the first video in Week 1 of the Medicine and the Arts Massive Open Online Course.
