AB Objectives: To assess the expected learning outcomes of medical humanitiessubjects in medical studies curricula. To connect those expected learningoutcomes with the types of knowledge to be acquired in medical education.Methods: Meta-review of systematic and narrative reviews. Cochrane Library,MEDLINE (Pubmed), Embase, CINAHL, and ERIC were searched. In addition,references from all the included studies were revised, and the ISI Web of Scienceand DARE were searched.Results: A total of 364 articles were identified, of which six were finally includedin the review. Learning outcomes describe the acquisition of knowledge and skillsto improve the relationship with patients, as well as the incorporation of tools toreduce burnout and promote professionalism. Programs that focus on teachinghumanities promote diagnostic observation skills, the ability to cope withuncertainty in clinical practice, and the development of empathetic behaviors.Conclusion: The results of this review show heterogeneity in the teaching ofmedical humanities, both in terms of content and at the formal level. Humanitieslearning outcomes are part of the necessary knowledge for good clinical practice.Consequently, the epistemological approach provides a valid argument forincluding the humanities in medical curricula.
