The aim of medical education is to raise up physicians who are well informed regarding medical problems and have the skills to overcome them, who uphold ethical rules, and who, as investigators, have the desire to renew themselves. The concepts taught through medical education must be related with real life, so that the knowledge gained will extend beyond merely discrete terms memorized for examinations. An interesting teaching method that relates medical knowledge with real life must be developed. In order to achieve this, story-telling must be used in medical education. The aim of this review is to emphasize that learned knowledge will be better retained and more enjoyable and lead to a new dimension in medical education if physicians internalize human values by incorporating story-telling into medical education.
