Abstract

The Institute of Medicine, in its 2001 report Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, highlighted patient‐centered care as an area for the development of quality measures. Since then, medical centers across the country have incorporated patient‐centered modalities in their healthcare delivery systems. In academic medical centers, interest in patient‐centered care has raised the awareness of the interactions between the humanities and medicine. This work aims to define the roles of patient‐centered medicine and the medical humanities in the academic medical environment, to establish the shared values between the medical humanities and patient‐centered care, and to demonstrate how the medical humanities can be a tool for the teaching of patient‐centered care.
