In comparison to other art forms, dance remains underrepresented in the medical humanities, especially within the academic medical setting. Several factors, including perceived lack of applicability to patient care, contribute to this pattern. This paper contends that, to the contrary, learners across the medical education spectrum stand to gain much from engaging with the movement arts, including improvement of clinically-relevant skills such as physical self-awareness, observation, communication, and mindfulness. This paper makes the case for the nascent subdiscipline of Movement and Medicine, developed by the authors and piloted for inclusion in medical humanities curricula within a medical education context. Movement and Medicine employs a dance-inspired pedagogy to a) promote awareness of personal movement and embodiment tendencies and b) harness that awareness to gain more profound, sensory insight into the embodied experiences of others-experiences of health, illness, or otherwise. This work outlines the research, rationale, and philosophy behind Movement and Medicine; concretely defines the subdiscipline and situates it within the medical humanities landscape; proposes practical approaches to engaging with and applying this material; and describes a Movement and Medicine course developed for one American medical school.

“精神变浓”：医学人文中的舞蹈案例

与其他艺术形式相比，舞蹈在医学人文学科中的代表性仍然不足，尤其是在学术医学环境中。有几个因素，包括对患者护理的感知缺乏适用性，导致了这种模式。本文认为，相反，医学教育领域的学习者将从参与运动艺术中获益良多，包括提高临床相关技能，如身体自我意识、观察、沟通和正念。本文为由作者开发并在医学教育背景下试点纳入医学人文课程的新生运动和医学子学科提供了理由。运动与医学采用受舞蹈启发的教学法，以 a) 提高对个人运动和具身倾向的认识，以及 b) 利用这种认识获得对他人具身体验的更深刻的感官洞察力 - 健康、疾病或其他方面的体验。这项工作概述了运动和医学背后的研究、基本原理和哲学；具体定义子学科并将其置于医学人文景观中；提出使用和应用该材料的实用方法；并描述了为一所美国医学院开发的运动和医学课程。具体定义子学科并将其置于医学人文景观中；提出使用和应用该材料的实用方法；并描述了为一所美国医学院开发的运动和医学课程。具体定义子学科并将其置于医学人文景观中；提出使用和应用该材料的实用方法；并描述了为一所美国医学院开发的运动和医学课程。
