Description

By adopting the "embodied narrative" pedagogical approach and integrating strategies from the humanities and the arts, we establish a holistic teaching model—rooted in the body, extending to the care context, and prioritizing humanistic care techniques—to cultivate professionals who possess both core professional competencies and a humanistic ethos.
