Abstract
- Many reports have commented on the decreasing level of humanity in healthcare, and that medical training has an increasingly scientific basis. This paper reports on a six-week elective on compassionate care, delivered to first year medical students at the University of Crete Medical School.The course proved highly popular, and may represent a starting point for emphasising the importance of compassionate care in the Greek healthcare system.
