Abstract

 

Art-based observational training is increasingly recognized as a valuable addition to educational programs in the medical curriculum (Smydra, 2022; Naghshineh 2008; Kumar 2021). In surgery, operative skills largely rely on visual information and correct interpretation (Cohen, 2023).

We have set-up an art-based educational workshop for surgical residents of the Haaglanden Medical Center (HMC) in collaboration with the Museum Mauritshuis (MM), both in The Hague. The content of the workshop is based on structured observation of different art works leading to an interactive discussion involving an art-educator.

Herein, we report our initial experience with these visual art workshops in the MM.
