ENRH 150 MEDICINE AND ART
Art has always been a tool for us to make sense of the world. Whether through painting, sculpture, or performance, the arts provide a platform for us to explore shared human experiences and convey what cannot be put into mere words. There seems to be an increasing trend in the health sciences to integrate multidisciplinary perspectives. Moreover, studies have shown that thoughtful art programming bears positive connections with both patient and provider wellness. As such, this elective is an opportunity for students to learn about these connections while exploring their own experiences and thoughts on healthcare -- joys, fears, questions, failures -- through the interpretive lens of creation.
