Linda Friedlaender, Yale Center for British Art talks about Enhancing Observational Skills, a required program for all first year medical students.
Date: 24/04/2024 – 24/04/2024
Time: 14:00
Linda Friedlaender is Senior Curator of Education at the Yale Center for British Art, which houses the largest collection of British art and culture outside the United Kingdom. She co-created Enhancing Observational Skills, a required program for all first year medical students.
Learning objectives for this observational skills workshop in the
museum are to enhance clinicians observational skills, to help them
learn to carefully observe and describe details in paintings in an
objective manner without concomitant interpretation, and to usethis
objective information to form conclusions about what is happening in
the painting. The hope is that this will alert clinicians to the
potential tendency to self-select observations, categorize too easily,
and ignore conflicting cues.

Can we accelerate the process of observing and diagnosing when we educate students so that they are able to notice and recognise in the same way as qualified experienced clinicians?
If students could learn to articulate what was implicit and make it explicit, could we speed students acclimation to working in clinical settings and improve their observation and analysis?
Who should attend?
Students and clinicians from medicine, nursing, psychology, occupational and physical therapy, the art therapies and gallery and museum staff.
