Educational aims and hoped-for results in medical humanities (in particular: ethics and history of medicine) are the coherent, necessary introduction and completion of an University degree in Medicine. The main goal is training the students for a sound and coherent ethical, legal and psychological reasoning in biomedical contexts of research, practice and work. Skills to be pursued and implemented are the following ones: perceiving a moral dilemma; justifying personal evaluations in the light of rules, principles and theories; composing a quarrel and disagreement inside the staff and into our social pluralistic arena; recognizing the historical and cultural dimensions of scientific and technological institutions and practices; learning a language suitable for understanding, interpreting and commenting (in dialogue) upon the narrative events of an individual illness and of the institutional working life
