In the wake of professional breaches among health care professionals, the place of humanistic values in medical training has been the subject of much debate and development in the literature. This scoping review aims to map the current understanding of how humanism in the Asian socio-cultural context maybe understood and applied, and how the strengthening of humanistic values may be further integrated into medical schools in Asia.  \nMethods: Arksey and O'Malley's approach to scoping reviews was used to guide the study protocol. Databases PubMed, ERIC, EMBASE, Scopus, CINAHL, and Web of Science were searched for articles on humanism and medical education in Asia. Data charting and thematic analysis were performed on the final articles selected.  \nResults: Three hundred and six abstracts were retrieved, 93 full-text articles were analysed, and 48 articles were selected. Thematic analysis revealed four themes on the need to strengthen humanistic values, the challenge of finding a common framework and definition, opportunities in medical school for curriculum design and training, and the need for validated tools in program evaluation in Asia.  \nConclusion: Themes highlighted in this review show an increasing recognition amongst Asian medical educators of the importance of inculcating humanistic values into medical training. Further research and ongoing discussion are needed to develop culturally relevant, effective, and integrative curricula in order to promote humanistic attitudes and behaviours among medical students and physicians in Asia.  \nKeywords: Humanism, Asia, Medical Education, Medical Students, Admission, Curriculum, Mentorship, Assessment,  \nMedical Humanities, Humanistic Values  \nPractice Highlights  \n▪ This review maps how medical schools in Asia impart humanistic values.  \n▪ There is a pressing need to strengthen humanistic values among medical students in Asia.  \n▪ The outcomes of current strategies are varied; mentorship and reflection on experience are crucial.  \n▪ There is much scope for further research in culturally relevant pedagogy that may impart humanism.  \n▪ Validated tools need to be developed for evaluating interventions to impart humanism in healthcare.  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nHumanistic values lie at the heart of medicine. Humanism in health care has been defined as “an intrinsic set of deep-seated convictions about one's obligations toward others”, and “devotion to human welfare”, characterised by a respectful and  \ncompassionate relationship between physicians, their patients, and other members of the healthcare team (Cohen, 2007; Gold, 2018) .  \nRecent increased interest in the development of humanism in medical education (Maheux et al., 2000;  \nMoyer et al., 2010; Wald et al., 2015) may be in response to concerns regarding the erosion of humanistic qualities among medical professionals (Haque & Waytz, 2012; Thibault, 2019) . The push for medical humanism gained momentum through various advocacy movements, such as the Arnold P. Gold foundation in the United States, where the ‘IECARES’ framework was created to facilitate systematic discourse and study of humanism (Gold, 2018) .  \nMedical educators in Asia have long recognised that humanistic traits are key to the art of medicine. They recognise t","cbCaip2JhbmaUuWj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip2JhbmaUuWj","pdf",571764,"English","# Abstract\n## Introduction\n## Methods\n## Results\n## Conclusion\n## Practice Highlights","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of this scoping review?\",\"answer\":\"To map current understanding of humanism in Asian medical education, including how humanism is applied in an Asian socio-cultural context and how humanistic values can be integrated into medical schools in Asia.\"},{\"question\":\"Which methodology and databases were used?\",\"answer\":\"Arksey and O’Malley’s approach to scoping reviews guided the protocol.
