Humanism in health care refers to the idea that every person who is part of the health system is first a human being. How do we integrate new technologies into medical education while maintaining humanistic healthcare practice?

A dedicated plenary at ICAM will invite participants to reflect on this question.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to: 

1. Explain how healthcare professionals can integrate humanism and better communication with patients using newer technologies 
2. Describe how medical education can include learning to provide care in contexts that employ emerging technologies 
3. Outline how to include patients in the co-design of technology-based healthcare and education
