The Human Touch: Integrating Humanities into Healthcare teaching and research
"The value of the arts and humanities within healthcare often gets dismissed. In this session we will explore examples of successful integrations in healthcare curricula, showcase research findings on the impact of artistic and poetic interventions, and discuss methods for evaluating their effectiveness. You will gain insights into how these humanities approaches can foster empathy, enhance observational skills, and contribute to a more holistic approach to healthcare. The talk aims to inspire educationalists and researchers to embrace and expand the use of arts and humanities in shaping the future of healthcare education. We will delve into the use of poetic inquiry to explore gender discrimination and differential attainment, as well as the use of art within science and clinical education.
The presentation will consider the different discourses of the body and how art enable these to be explored within teaching. Finally, we will consider the use of art in communication of research findings."
