The practice of hospice and palliative care provides the privilege of presence at some of life's most important moments and the opportunity to infer the deeper meaning for those involved. Art museum teaching can nurture our observational skills and reflective capacities toward this deeper meaning. It encompasses a variety of strategies in which medical and museum educators use art to impart lessons that are otherwise difficult to convey. This virtual session invites participants to experience art museum teaching, refining observation skills, and connecting to meaning while considering how to learn and apply these teaching strategies in their home settings.
Learning Objectives:
- "See deeply” when examining a piece of art.
- Gain insight into an aspect of meaning from the participant’s clinical work through a work of art in the museum.
- Describe how art museum teaching strategies could be used in hospice and palliative care clinical settings and with different groups of learners.
Registration will open Wednesday, February 1.
