Abstract：The concept of"medical humanities"embodies multifaceted connotations,encompassing the medical humanistic spirit,medical humanistic care,medical humanities disciplines,and medical humanistic literacy.The institutionalization of medical humanities disciplines gained momentum in the mid-to-late 20th century and has currently exhibited a trajectory of globalization and diversification.The research core of modern medical humanities revolves around key issues such as disciplinary positioning and knowledge integration,optimization of clinical practice,and the construction of localized theories.Innovations in the research methodologies of medical humanities are manifested in the transcendence of traditional disciplinary boundaries,giving rise to interdisciplinary integration approaches including narrative medicine,digital humanities technologies,and participatory action research.Looking ahead,it is imperative to advance the in-depth integration of medicine and humanities and foster localized theoretical innovation,thereby propelling the progress of medical undertakings and enhancing human health and well-being.
