INTEGRATING PEDAGOGICAL AND CLINIC KNOWLEDGE IN HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION: A COMPARATIVE REVIEW ON STUDENT COMPETENCES AND PATIENT WELL-BEING

Gaetano Monaco, Alberto Fornasari, Matteo Conte

Abstract


The increasing complexity of health needs requires healthcare professionals who are able to integrate technical expertise with relational skills, and the inclusion of pedagogical content in healthcare curricula represents an effective strategy to foster their development. This comparative review (2020–2025) of ten studies shows that such educational models enhance empathy, communication, and reflexivity, thereby improving trust, satisfaction, and patient engagement in the care pathway, and highlights the importance of interdisciplinary training approaches in healthcare education.


Keywords
