Abstract

In recent years, the strategic integration of education, science and technology, and talent development has emerged as a central policy framework shaping knowledge production and disciplinary reconfiguration in many countries, particularly in the context of health and life sciences. Against this backdrop, medical humanities as an interdisciplinary field faces both unprecedented opportunities and structural challenges. While existing studies have extensively explored educational practices, ethical dilemmas of emerging medical technologies, and professional cultivation, relatively little attention has been paid to the internal theoretical coherence and methodological foundations of medical humanities itself. This paper argues that the sustainable development of medical humanities under the education–technology–talent integration framework requires a systematic reconstruction of its knowledge system and research paradigm. By situating medical humanities within the broader transformation of modern knowledge regimes, this study examines its epistemological foundations, conceptual boundaries, and methodological orientations. It proposes a theoretically integrated knowledge structure and a plural yet coherent research paradigm aimed at strengthening the disciplinary autonomy and academic legitimacy of medical humanities. In doing so, the paper seeks to contribute to the long-term theoretical consolidation of medical humanities as a core component of contemporary health-related scholarship.
