Medical humanities is an interdisciplinary field of medicine which includes the humanities, social science and the arts and their application to medical education and practice. Medical humanities uses interdisciplinary research to explore experiences of health and illness, often focusing on subjective, hidden, or invisible experience. This interdisciplinary strength has given the field a noted diversity and encouraged creative 'epistemological innovation'. Medical humanities is sometimes conflated with health humanities which also broadly links health and social care disciplines with the arts and humanities.
