Students will be encouraged to think critically. Many famous medical doctors, including Galen, Descartes, and Locke, were also philosophers, and recent evidence suggests that studying humanities improves clinical skills. The critical thinking and debate encouraged throughout the module is a transferable skill that can be used in research and practice. By combining an understanding of the history and philosophy of science, participants will be better informed about their acceptance of evidence-based practice.
