To address the current issues of disconnection between medical humanities education and clinical practice, as well as the generally weak development of medical students' humanistic literacy, this study explores a novel teaching model for role empowerment and humanistic cultivation based on the "Friendly Clinic" concept. This model was implemented and tested in the training of 320 medical students at a large tertiary general hospital in China. Results demonstrate that humanistic education driven by clinical scenarios enables students to simultaneously apply knowledge, develop skills, and internalize values during real-world service, achieving effective integration of teaching and learning. Role empowerment not only reinforces professional understanding but also promotes value internalization, offering a practical solution to the "separation of knowledge and action" in ideological and political education. This innovative medical humanities teaching model for Friendly Clinics holds significant practical value.
