Purpose: “Humanities in Medicine” is a term given to all of the systematic studies in fields such as history, literature, arts, philosophy, ethics, jurisprudence, sociology, archeology, anthropology and psychology which record and interpret human experiences in health. “Humanities in Medicine Education Program” commenced to be applied at Pamukkale University Medical School beginning from 2010-2011 education year. This program targets to educate physicians who not only solve the biological problems of the patients but also know the patients with every aspect, show empathy, can judge the character and thereby view the patients as a whole.The program was structured as seminars, conferences, hours for watching and interpreting films, interactive meetings. A questionnaire was designed in 2013-2014 education year in order to evaluate the program at its fourth year, determine the well working factors, deficits and get the recommendations of the students and the questionnaire was applied to grade 1 students to whom the program was applied and grade 2 students who had received the program in the previous year.Materials and methods: A total of 170 students (86 Grade-1 students and 84 Grade-2 students) were included in the study. The questionnaire included the questions about the goals of the program and recommendations were asked. Results: A significant difference was not found between two grades (p 0.05). The highest averages were obtained from “enhancing intellectual perspective” and “contribution to personal development” which are among the goals of Pamukkale University Medical School Humanities in Medicine Program.Conclusion: When all students were evaluated, it was seen that there is a demand for the continuation of the program with the ratio of 92.4%. We consider that the program could be improved and different headings may be added.
