This program targets to educate physicians who not only solve the biological problems of the patients but also know the patients with every aspect, make empathy, can judge the character and thereby view the patients as a whole.

The questionnaire included the questions about the goals of the program and recommendations were asked. RESULTS: A significant difference was not found between two grades (p>0.05). The highest averages were obtained from “enhancing intellectual perspective” and “contribution to personal development” which are among the goals of Pamukkale University Medical School Humanities in Medicine Program. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: When all students were evaluated, the program was wanted to continue with the ratio of 92.4%. We consider that the program could be improved and different headings may be added.
