- What is medical humanities
- How and why we can use arts and humanities in medical education
- The links between planetary health, medical health, and social justice
- Why medical and scientific researchers need artists and humanities specialists
- How the humanities helped the medical field during the Covid-19 pandemic
- Medicine as an enabler of the arts and humanities
