An Assessment Of The Medical Students’ Creative Potential And Creativity

Abstract

Relevance: medicine is the field, where physicians are required to adhere to strict treatment protocols and study the inherent information. Even during their interactions with patients, they must consistently follow the instructions; thus, creativity seems to be unnecessary, but it’s not entirely accurate. Doctors incorporate creativity to enhance their emotional intelligence and, thus, effectively communicate with their patients. Diagnosing a medical condition requires clinicians to use their full potential, knowledge, and expertise to identify the problem and recommend the most appropriate treatment. Additionally, medical creativity holds great significance, as each patient is a unique individual with their own opinions, fears, and medical history. Despite having the same diagnosis, they may need different treatment approaches, requiring definitions of therapeutic success that go beyond the standard.
