Visual Arts in Healthcare Program at Brigham & Women's Hospital

Boston, MA, United States

The Visual Arts in Healthcare Program at BWH trains healthcare workers using visual arts methods that build essential skills of a humanistic provider, including empathy, teamwork, respect, curiosity, and cultural responsiveness. We work with healthcare teams in all stages of their career and across departments to expand clinical skills, build teams, and mitigate healthcare burnout.

The Visual Arts in Healthcare Program at BWH was created in 2022 bringing together pioneering Brigham & Women’s Art & Medicine programs that started over 22 years ago with a single course at Harvard Medical School, Training the Eye: Improving the Art of Physical Diagnosis. Since then programs have expanded to serve medical students, trainees, and healthcare providers in all specialties.

Vision
To enrich the relationship between patients, families, and healthcare teams through essential visual arts-based curricula and professional development.

Mission
The Visual Arts in Healthcare Program at BWH develops and advances visual arts-based learning experiences to cultivate empathetic, resourceful, and collaborative healthcare teams to improve patient care.
