Integrating Pedagogical and Clinic Knowledge in Health Professions Education: a Comparative Review on Student Competences and Patient Well-Being.

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.
