Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Arts and humanities education is widespread in undergraduate but almost non-existent in postgraduate medical education where it is arguably more helpful. This book fills that gap. It covers a wide range of arts and humanities including film, theatre, narrative, visual art, history, ethics and social sciences. It also touches on interprofessional education, research in the medical humanities and fundraising. It is not only a hands-on guide to creating arts- and humanities-base programming, but provides literature reviews and a theoretical discussion on each topic. Each chapter has appendices with lesson plans and resources.
MoreLong description:
Most medical schools in the US, Canada and UK now incorporate some form of arts and humanities-based teaching into their curricula. What happens in residency is another story. Most postgraduate programs do not continue the thread of such teaching although many residents would like to deepen their understanding of the medical humanities before they move into practice. The humanities emphasize "the human side of medicine", and can provide a counterpoint to the reductionism of evidence-based medicine and technological hubris for young doctors as they apply new knowledge and skills in ambiguous, real-life encounters with patients who are living with complicated health problems.
Humanities-based education can help both sides of the relationship: programs are shown to reduce burnout and mental health issues in young physicians, and can also help learning practitioners grapple with the most difficult aspects of their craft: how does one persuade patients on a course of treatment, while respecting informed consent? How does one work with families? How does one listen to and treat patients exhibiting self-harm tendencies? Available research may demonstrate the efficacy of such exposures, but provide little practical advice or resources for setting up programs across specialty and sub-specialty disciplines.
Health Humanities in Post-Graduate Medical Education will fill this gap in knowledge translation for the thousands of residency programs worldwide, allowing educators, supervisors, and residents themselves to create robust and educationally sound workshops, seminars, study groups, lecture series, research and arts-based projects, publications and events.
I found this book very thoughtfully compiled and I recommend it for health professions' educators with an interest in the medical humanities. They will certainly benefit from the collated wisdom contained within its pages.
