Incorporating art and literature into healthcare education has emerged as an innovative strategy to enhance essential skills such as emotional intelligence, communication, and empathy among healthcare professionals (Zannini 2008; Lake et al. 2015; Bleakley 2015). This case study focuses on the Specialist Course in Obstetrics and Nursing Pedagogy at Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele, where art and literature were integrated into a 16-hour module (Healthcare Pedagogy), part of the “Methodologies and Tutorial Didactics” course.

Abstract

Incorporating art and literature into healthcare education has emerged as an innovative strategy to enhance essential skills such as emotional intelligence, communication, and empathy among healthcare professionals (Zannini 2008; Lake et al. 2015; Bleakley 2015). This case study focuses on the Specialist Course in Obstetrics and Nursing Pedagogy at Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele, where art and literature were integrated into a 16-hour module (Healthcare Pedagogy), part of the “Methodologies and Tutorial Didactics” course. This interdisciplinary approach was employed for four consecutive years, with the latest iteration during the 2024-2025 academic year.
