Using the art museum to teach clinical excellence
 A new, multi-visit Art and Medicine pilot program developed in collaboration with the School of Medicine at Queen’s University took place in the spring. Formatted as a research study, the interactive program taught first-year medical students visual analysis, communication, and critical thinking skills. Each week participants were introduced to a different type of observation training using art from Agnes collections and exhibitions along with studio-based creation. The purpose was to explore and evaluate how different approaches to art observation training impact clinical observation skills. “Teaching visual analysis skills in an art museum setting allows students the freedom to experiment with new concepts and ideas in a low-risk environment,” says Heather Parker, Associate Curator, Academic Outreach. “It allows them to think critically about their assumptions.”
