Visual Thinking Strategies Webinar: Art and the Radical Act of Diagnosis

Facilitator: Alexa Miller Workshop Description: Diagnosis is the core art of medicine, an intentional practice, a team sport, and particularly complex to learn. This session is for anyone engaged in its teaching with clinical learners. We will make links between core principles of diagnosis and experiential learning in art, highlighting the role of observation in patient-centered teamwork. All participants will have the opportunity to experience the Visual Thinking Strategies – an approach increasingly applied and researched in the health professions – and to deconstruct that experience. The session will conclude with an approach to looking based on Miller’s research of adaptive approaches to uncertainty in clinical masters and in artists. Join us to for lively conversation among dedicated teachers of patient care – no previous experience with art required.
