Resources for Art Museum and Medical School Partnerships

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.

The following resources have been collected from participants in the field of art museum and medical school partnerships.

These resources are updated regularly by the Center for Visual Arts in Healthcare at BWH. The links below include the latest updates.
