Question 4
Harsh2111s
The "human dimension of medicine" is an umbrella term for multiple human factors of medicine, including:
- "the personal and ethical aspects of doctoring," including "new ways of thinking about and interacting with patients"
- "an understanding of human behavior that reflects a wide array of relationships and readily adapts to various perspectives"
- "moral imagination" and ability to "adopt another person's point of view"
According to the author, an approach to ethical training that includes these factors can result in "a deeper understanding of human nature that can serve as a foundation for ethical reasoning and allow greater flexibility in the application of moral principles."
In other words, the reason why the author proposes a new approach to ethical training is that the author wants recipients of that training to be more attuned to the human dimension (as opposed to the scientific or philosophical dimensions) of medicine. In every paragraph, the author explains how the specific changes in training will help preserve specific factors of the human dimension.
I hope this helps to clarify. Remember that when confirming the overall purpose of a passage, you're unlikely to find an explicit sentence in the passage that says, "Here's the purpose of this passage, just like it's worded in the correct answer choice! Enjoy your easy points
!!!" It's ultimately up to us to identify why the author wrote each paragraph, then recognize how those paragraphs fit together into a coherent overall purpose.I hope that helps!

Para 1 says "Requiring students to immerse themselves completely in medical coursework risks disconnecting them from the personal and ethical aspects of doctoring" . So why isn't the answer 3, A? Disconnecting them from ethical training means they aren't spending adequate time on it.

Question 3
Vishalcv
Quote:
For question 3, the problem with (A) is that the author would not necessarily agree with the idea that the heavy load of technical coursework keeps schools from giving adequate emphasis to courses in medical ethics. The line that you referenced merely talks about the RISK of immersing completely in medical coursework. But the author is NOT suggesting that medical schools today ACTUALLY immerse their students purely in such coursework.
In fact, in the following paragraph, the author indicates that “training in ethics is currently provided by medical schools.” So, the author does believe medical coursework is provided. Moreover, the author’s problem with current medical education is not that there isn’t enough emphasis on ethics. Rather, he/she believes that the way that schools approach teaching ethics is fundamentally flawed. For those reasons, we can eliminate (A).
I hope that helps!
