Abstract: Medical humanities education is an important part of the modern medical education system and has some special characteristics, such as returning to humanistic tradition, adjusting social relations, integrating multiple disciplines, emphasizing implicit functions, and relying on teacher-student interaction. These characteristics determine that medical humanities education is a kind of continuous, formative and potential educational activity. Compared with other types of professional education, it pays more attention to creating specific educational situations and achieving the expected educational goals through strong interaction and connection between teachers and students.In practice, by stimulating learning interest, enhancing positive motivation, optimizing the external environment and other ways, students can strengthen their positive cognition of humanities education, construct and realize multi-dimensional connectivity between teachers and students, and effectively improve the teaching effect of medical humanities education.

Key words: Medical humanities, Medical humanities education, Characteristics, Teaching effectiveness
