ABSTRACT
At present, there are some shortcomings in China’s medical humanities education, such as inadequate adaptation to the needs of the development of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, and insufficient early warning of crises brought about by emerging medical technologies. The concept of “a community of common health for mankind” had been established in the appearance context of medical humanities education, which also gave medical humanities education a richer contemporary significance and development opportunities. Taking the courses of medical ethics and health law as examples, the concept of “a community of common health for mankind” fits well with the core of medical humanities education in terms of value significance, logical mechanisms, and content elements, which is more conducive to highlighting the localized results of medical humanities research. Therefore, the existing theoretical frameworks should be integrated with the concept of “a community of common health for mankind”, to create a medical humanities education system with Chinese characteristics and universal significance, as well as to enhance the quality and effects of humanities education by integrating the disciplinary systems, education modes, education chains, and other paths.
