Abstract

The executive summary from the 2020 Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) report on The Fundamental Role of the Arts and Humanities in Medical Education states that "The integration of the arts and humanities into medicine and medical education may be essential to educating a physician workforce that can effectively contribute to optimal health care outcomes for patients and communities." This perspective has contributed to the widespread implementation of medical humanities experiences into medical school educational programs. Humanities programs in visual art, literature, history, and other disciplines have been developed for medical education. In this report, we describe a visual art immersion experience for medical students conducted at a single campus of a community based medical school and review key aspects relevant to medical education.
