Abstract

Based on the experience of an educational activity for undergraduate and post graduate students from EPM-UNIFESP, the Laboratory of Humanities, this article aim to describe the way as reading and discussion of literature classics can give humanistic contributions for the medical education. Grounded in the humanities theoretical background and in the empirical observation of educational phenomena, this study shows that aesthetical and reflective experience could be a privileged form to promote “humanization” in the medical education context.
