The Art Museum-based Health Professions Education Fellowship prepares participants to engage the rich museum environment to advance health professional learning. Fellows join an international community of practice that is deeply sustaining, and many of our graduates become leaders in the field. This hands-on, experiential program emphasizes learning through practice and reflection. Fellows engage with key teaching methods used in art museum-based education, such as Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS), the Personal Responses Tour, Thinking Routines, and Narrative Writing. They will also explore other art forms, metaphor, and mindful practices to deepen their teaching approach.
