Art and Medical School Partnerships

Medical students, interns, residents, and fellows are taught to look at works of art and in turn relate these skills to their own professional practices. By doing so, they develop observation, interpretation, empathy, and collaboration skills in order to enhance their clinical diagnosis and practices.
