Connecting biomedical education with the medical humanities to advance translational

medicine

This correspondence highlights the integration of medical humanities into biomedical education as a strategy to enhance translational medicine. By embedding ethical, narrative, and philosophical methodologies into course-based settings, the authors demonstrate how interdisciplinary training fosters critical thinking, communication, and patient-centered research, ultimately bridging the gap between biomedical science, clinical practice, and societal needs.
