The act of “seeing” is inseparable from medical training. Physicians are constantly required to “look for” signs and symptoms from the human body, describe what is being observed, and make diagnosis. The skills of observation, description, and interpretation of visual information are inherent in the artistic creative process and art appreciation. Through the examination of artworks, this course aims to improve the students’ visual literacy and attention to details, and to foster the ability to transfer these skills to the clinical setting. In addition, the students will be exposed to artistic depictions of health-related issues in different social and historical backgrounds.
