The development of social competencies among medical students has emerged as a critical component in contemporary medical education, reflecting the increasing recognition of holistic professional formation. Integrative approaches, which combine cognitive, practical, and interpersonal dimensions of learning, provide an effective framework to enhance students’ abilities in communication, collaboration, and organizational skills. This article examines the theoretical foundations and practical applications of integrative pedagogical methods in medical education, emphasizing their impact on students’ social competency development. Empirical studies and international perspectives are reviewed to demonstrate how integrative strategies contribute to the formation of well-rounded medical professionals capable of effective teamwork, ethical decision-making, and patient-centered care. The findings underscore the necessity of incorporating multidimensional educational practices to foster social competencies that align with the evolving demands of healthcare systems.
