Description

The Affective Domain in Health Professions Education explores the critical yet underrepresented role of the affective domain in preparing compassionate, ethically grounded healthcare professionals.

In an era where patient-centered care and emotional intelligence are essential, this volume addresses how values, empathy, and attitudes shape clinical practice and professional resilience. Despite its importance, the affective domain remains the least studied and most challenging to teach and assess.

This book responds to that gap by offering innovative, discipline-specific strategies for integrating affective learning into curricula and developing robust assessment frameworks. Drawing on case studies from medicine, nursing, and allied health education, contributors move beyond the hidden curriculum to present deliberate, structured approaches to affective development.

This volume is essential reading for educators, curriculum designers, and researchers committed to cultivating the ethical core of healthcare education.
