Med Student Mentor: Beyond the Diagnosis—Implementing Fine Arts in Medical Education

Summary: Film presentations and art projects are usually not what you would expect to find at a medical school.

Dr. Case talks about how she incorporates video and art in her class projects to better enhance her students’ medical education, and gives advice for other institutes that are looking to do the same.
