The arts and humanities play a fundamental role in health professions education. Integrating A&H pedagogical methods into health professions education supports clinical skill mastery, perspective taking, personal insight, and social advocacy. This highly interactive talk will focus on Visual Thinking Strategies, an evidence-based arts and humanities method that enhances individual attributes crucial to clinical care, including implicit bias awareness and critical thinking, while contributing to inclusive learning spaces by minimizing pre-existing hierarchies and fostering team cohesion. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a Visual Thinking Strategies discussion and reflect together on how Visual Thinking Strategies supports the development of clinically relevant attributes, as well as facilitative teaching and leadership skills, informed by an understanding of the method’s key elements.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, counselors and other mental health professionals.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, attendees will be able to:
- Describe 4 functions of the arts and humanities in health professions education
- Identify Visual Thinking Strategies’ key elements
- Analyze how Visual Thinking Strategies supports an inclusive learning environment
