In general, liberal arts education for medicine/dental students tends to decline across the world. One of the main reasons is that current liberal arts educational system does not always adapt to the changing social needs and most students do not feel the necessity of mastering liberal arts subjects. This paper presents the case of dental school of Health Sciences University of Hokkaido in Japan, analyzes the most ideal concept of liberal arts education (that is currently being implemented), and demonstrates our reform efforts in liberal arts education.

Edukacja w zakresie przedmiotów humanistycznych dla studentów medycyny i stomatologii zdaje się podupadać i jest to trend ogólnoświatowy. Jednym z głównych powodów tego stanu rzeczy jest fakt, że system edukacji w zakresie przedmiotów humanistycznych na wydziałach medycznych i stomatologicznych nie zawsze potrafi dostosować się do zmieniających się potrzeb społecznych, a studenci nie odczuwają konieczności doskonalenia się w zakresie przedmiotów humanistycznych. W niniejszym artykule, na przykładzie Wydziału Stomatologicznego Uniwersytetu Nauk Medycznych Hokkaido, autor przeprowadził analizę najbardziej idealnej koncepcji edukacji humanistycznej w obecnym czasie oraz opisał propozycję działań reformatorskich w zakresie tej edukacji na uczelniach o profilu medyczno-stomatologicznym.
