The Edith O’Donnell Institute of Art History at the
University of Texas at Dallas has announced that its new Art and Medicine
website has been launched.
“Art museums are playing a unique role in training medical
students, residents and physicians,” Forum Organizer and Distinguished Scholar
in Residence from the O’Donnell Institute Bonnie Pitman said. “These programs,
which were the focus of our forum, are providing students with the skills they
need to make better observations and improve their ability to articulate their
findings when making a diagnosis and communicating with patients.”
The website was launched on Oct. 31. It will give visitors access to documents that will discuss how viewing artwork can help make medical students better doctors.
“The Edith O’Donnell Institute of Art History hopes to
further these collaborations in art and science that were shared in the forum
in recognition and exploration of the deep connection between the creative
process and the healing process,” Pitman said. “A particular focus of the Art
and Medicine initiative is expanding research on the power of works of art to
help improve medical professionals’ quality of patient care and to support the
medical profession.”
