A fresh perspective on medical education: the lens of the arts

ConclusionsThe effectiveness of the arts cannot be measured by yardsticks that have been set for judging technical proficiency or short‐term impact. The possible outcomes of embracing the arts in medical education include an enriched view of lifelong learning and professional development, the potential to critique prevailing approaches to medical practice, and the revisualisation of medicine as a succession of performances. These open up the broader social aspects of medical practice to scrutiny and offer new and distinctive ways of exploring professional knowledge and identity.
