A guiding framework to maximise the power of the arts in medical education: a systematic review and metasynthesis

ConclusionsThe arts have unique qualities that can help create novel ways to engage learners. These novel ways of engagement can foster learners’ ability to discover and create new meanings about a variety of topics, which in turn can lead to better medical practice. At each of these steps, specific actions by the teacher can enhance the potential for learners to move to the next step. The process can be enhanced when learners participate in the context of a group, and the group itself can undergo transformative change. Future work should focus on using this model to guide process design and outcome measurement in arts‐based education.
