Annals of Community Health 2014 Apr; 2 (2): 18-20.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/159729Medical humanities (MH) have been described as using subjects traditionally known as the humanities for specific purposes in medical education. Learning MH provides a number of advantages to medical students. I have been involved in facilitating MH sessions for over seven years. MH modules are still not com-mon in South Asia. There are various challenges in initiating a MH module in a medical school in south Asia. MH modules should be driven by the energy and creativity of facilitators in each medical school, should use small group learning strategies and be fun.enMedical humanitiesmedical studentsSouth AsiaAdolescentAsiaHumanities --educationHumansStudents, MedicalYoung AdultArticle
