Art & Medicine Program
Our thriving Art and Medicine program continues to afford students the opportunity to appreciate the human aspects of the diseases and systems they are studying in their medical classes. Students witness an artist-patient’s expression of how illness affects their life: the creation, exhibition, and discussion of art brings students and physicians into conversations that generate profound empathy for those experiencing illness and cultivate creative approaches to care. HEAL artist-in-residence Ted Meyer works with artist-patients to develop exhibits that align with the Keck School’s core medical school curriculum, fostering enhanced understanding between patients and future health care professionals.
