ABSTRACT

This paper examines the integration of arts, sciences, and medicine in educational curricula, highlighting its potential to foster holistic and innovative learning. By examining historical intersections from ancient Greece to modern-day universities, it reveals how interconnected approaches benefit academic development and societal progress. Interdisciplinary education, which combines creative expression, scientific inquiry, and practical medical skills, enhances critical thinking and empathy in students. Although challenges remain—such as curriculum restructuring and faculty alignment—innovative practices and case studies demonstrate that a unified approach leads to well-rounded professionals prepared to address complex, real-world problems. This synergy across disciplines supports a new paradigm in education, promoting cross-disciplinary collaboration and enhancing outcomes in both healthcare and academia.

Keywords: Interdisciplinary Education, Arts-Sciences Integration, Medical Humanities, Holistic Learning, Innovation in Education.
