二十世紀以來，醫學的進步超越人類過往幾千年歷史，醫療科技的介入及近年人工智慧的急速發展，幾乎等速地翻轉照護模式及醫病互動關係。2020年在疫情蔓延時，人們開始反思，病痛所承載的心理，社會文化及人際等多面向，已超乎科技與醫學，關乎「人」、「社會」與「疾病」相互的牽動。科技到底是幫我們身心得到更好的照護，讓照護者提供更好治療？還是疏離照護者及被照護者間的關懷與尊重？如果醫療科技與AI發展是為必然，那麼是否仍可在這不可逆的趨勢重新找回「人」?而教育者如何在大數據及醫療高科技化下，重造以病人為中心的人文教育的利基?
2020年12月5日，高雄醫學大學年度「專業素養與醫學人文教育國際學術研討會」【在數位醫療世界中找回「人」— 健康照護、科技及教育的反思】(Rediscovering the Human in a Digital world – Reflections on Healthcare , Technology & Education)，邀請多位國內外知名醫療人類學，醫學人文、醫療與科技及醫學教育學者，從歷史綜觀，人本微觀、教育實務等面向切入，探討數位醫療時代對健康照護專業人員及病患帶來哪些影響，身為健康照護專業人員的我們又該如何因應及反思，方能在運用醫療科技的同時，提供更完善的人本化健康照護。我們誠摯邀請您一起加入。

The rate of progress in medicine since the 20th century has surpassed the rate observed in the human history of the last few thousand years. In recent years, healthcare models and doctor-patient relationships were transformed rapidly with the integration of medical technology and swift development of artificial intelligence (AI). In the time of pandemic crisis in 2020, people began to reflect on how multiple facets including the ill and pain-ridden psyche, social culture, and interpersonal relationships, have gone beyond the realms of technology and medicine as the influences of “human”, “society”, and “illness” intertwine. Is technology enhancing physical and psychological care, and allowing health care providers to deliver more effective treatment? Or is it distancing care providers and patients in terms of care and respect? If the growth of medical technology and AI is inevitable, can we still rediscover the “human” aspects in this irreversible climate? And how can educators re-discover the patient-centered humanistic education niche in the era of big data and advanced medical technology?
On December 5th, 2020, Kaohsiung Medical University’s annual Conference on Medical Professionalism and Humanities presents “Rediscovering the Human in a Digital World – Reflections on Healthcare, Technology & Education”, inviting experts from medical anthropology, medical humanities, healthcare and technology, and medical education to explore from multiple facets (i.e. historical overview, humanistic approach, educational practice, etc.) the impacts of the digital care era on health care providers and patients. We will also explore how we can respond and reflect, as professional health care providers, to render more complete, humanistic health care while also utilizing medical technologies.
We cordially invite you to join us.
