From 19-21 May, The Doctor as a Humanist (DASH) 6th Symposium: Humanism in Surgery will take place in Porto, Portugal, as a hybrid event.
According to the website of the event, medical humanities have been rising all over the world due to the challenges posed by scientific and technological advancements that provide us with means to treat, cure and prolongue life, but not necessarily with person-centered care. Covid has unveiled many invisible issues that need to be reflected upon and to be kept in our memories, so that the lessons learnt are not forgotten.
In spite of the increase of Medical Humanities, the field of Surgery has not been the focus of attention, mainly due to the belief that, in spite of all the dance and theatre involved, surgeries are too much technical to be scrutinized by Arts and Humanities.
This symposium will offer an adequate venue for research groups in Narrative Medicine and Medical Humanities, academics, health professionals working in the context of surgery, specialists in Arts and Humanities from around the world to exchange knowledge, experiences, perspectives and research outputs. Moreover, it will also provide opportunities for networking and future research collaborations.
The symposium will bring together researchers from multidisciplinary domains, such as literature and the arts, philosophy, sociology, psychology, anthropology, pharmacy, medicine, nursing, physiotherapy, and bioethics.
Accordingly, the conference target audience is mixed: from surgeons and other healthcare professionals working in or related to surgical environment, to medical humanities scholars and students.
This event will count on the presence of leading scholars in the MH and NM field, including members of DASH, EUNAMES, and GERMEN.
The programme includes plenary sessions with keynote speakers, round-tables with guest speakers and parallel panels, through abstract submission.
All the sessions of the Symposium will be held online and in presence.
