New section

The many activities listed in Part 1 provide guidance on ways to teach using the arts and humanities. In Part 2 we have put together a list of things to consider as you start planning activities for your learners.






Below are some tips on how to create partnerships with cultural institutions, how to choose arts and humanities material, and how you can join conversations about arts and humanities in medical education. For a more in-depth look at the beginning steps for developing and integrating arts and humanities curricula, read The Fundamental Role of the Arts and Humanities in Medical Education. Learn about specific activities for learners in the Getting Started Guide Part 1: Select Activities for Integrating the Arts and Humanities into Medical Education.

1. Explore partnerships

Partnering with local or virtual experts or institutions can enhance learners' experiences with the arts and humanities. Partnership ensures that you have an expert available to guide you in work you may never have explored before, expands the number and variety of perspectives your learners are exposed to, and models interdisciplinary collaboration.

·         Are there arts and humanities faculty from your own institution interested in co-teaching?

·         Are there local artists, performers, or writers who have expertise not found in your institution?

·         Are there museums, theatres or archives that can connect you with art, performances or primary source material?

2. Select material thoughtfully

There are many elements to consider when choosing a work of art, music, literature or film, or a primary historical document to use in teaching. Here are some guiding questions to have in mind:

·         What are the conversations you might have around this material that link to the goals of your session?

·         Is the material appropriate for the learners’ stage of professional development?

·         After exploring the material, will there be enough time left to allow for group discussion?

·         Whose voices and experiences are represented in this material? Whose voices and experiences are missing? Consider aspects such as gender, race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, cultural practices and age as well as viewpoints of patients, caregivers, and health professionals who are not physicians.

·         Does the delivery of materials offer accessibility options such as open or closed captioning, descriptions of visuals for screen readers, audio descriptions, large print, etc.?

Use existing collections to explore material for use

There are many existing repositories and lists designed for the purpose of helping medical educators find arts and humanities material to use with learners.
