The discussed learning theories offer a unique twist in the development of curriculum in the healthcare profession. Humanism emphasizes the importance of human values, empathy, and compassion in healthcare. Social learning, on the other hand, claims that learning occurs through observation, imitation, and social interaction. Experiential learning asserts that active participation and reflection on experiences can facilitate the learning process.
One example of humanism is the curriculum of the UPCM Intarmed program wherein they incorporated a lot of liberal arts courses into the medical curricula. Mentorship of a consultant of a resident is an illustration of social learning where then resident can emulate the positive attitude and demeanor of the consultant in his practice. The clinical skills lab or the Observed Structured Clinical Examination is a type of experiential learning that enhances the physical diagnostic skills of young medical students up to the resident level.
