Abstract

The increasing complexity of global health challenges necessitates reforms in healthcare education, particularly in the training of soft skills. Healthcare education must equip future professionals with relevant skills such as critical thinking, creativity, empathy, and adaptability, which are essential in addressing various health challenges. This study is a systematic literature review aimed at exploring the integration of soft skills into 21st-century healthcare education curricula as a strategy for developing healthcare professionalism. The findings indicate that integrating soft skills into healthcare education curricula can enhance healthcare workers' job readiness and strengthen their ability to provide optimal healthcare services.
