The Presence of Humanities in Dental Studies at Universities in Chile and Spain
Abstract It has been argued that the presence of humanities in the curriculum, allows for a comprehensive student training. This would ultimately foster a better relationship with future patients and, therefore would contribute to improving the health of the population. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of humanities-related content in dentistry degrees at universities in Chile and Spain. It was found that in all universities there were subjects related to humanities that complemented the disciplinary training of graduates. Although differences were found between the two countries, subjects related to ethical, historical and professional content were offered by the vast majority of universities in both countries. On the other hand, the presence of subjects related to literature or art, such as plastic, visual, and performing arts was scarce, very minor in Spain and nothing in Chile. It is recommended to increase the presence of humanities in students’ dental training, not only specific courses, but also by introducing contents that are related to humanities in the core curriculum of dental technical training.
