(From KGCS) Research papers are pouring in from across the country as students and educators in the disciplines of both the humanities and medicine prepare for discussions to take place at the MSSU Artful Medicine Symposium, October 19-21st.
Event coordinators appear on Newsmakers to discuss expanding interest in this area of study that impacts medical patients and those working to treat them.
Dr. Christine Bentley, Professor of Art History and conference co-chair, along with Dr. Amber Mintert, associate Professor of Art, talk about the long relationship of art and medicine which goes beyond anatomical drawings. They share how medical students can improve their skills of observation with the study of art. The goal of the symposium is to inspire new teaching methods and improve patient/physician interactions.
Dr. Donna Johnson, Professor of Biology and Environmental Health, discusses the keynote speakers including Renee Nicholson, Director of the Humanities Center at West Virginia University, who will speak on dance and illness.
Frank Pishkur, Department Chair of Art and Design and Elmira Bagherzadeh, Assistant Professor of Art, will discuss conference presentations and art exhibits planned to coincide with the symposium.
