Seeing the Other: How Residents Expand Their Perspective by Learning With the Arts.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Engaging with the arts can enrich medical education by fostering transformative learning, reflection, and a holistic view of the patient.

Objective

To explore the development of professional competence of residents in prolonged arts-based medical education.

Methods

We followed residents (n=99) of various specialties as they engaged in arts-based learning through creative and reflective assignments such as painting, sculpting, and formal analysis. Participants were interviewed about their learning process and experiences, one-on-one and in small groups, by independent researchers using short, semistructured interviews. We used grounded theory to inform an iterative process for data collection and analysis over the course of 3 years (2016-2018).
