USF Art in Health Workshop Series Published in Academic Journal
Thursday, March 29, 2018
A journal article on the Art of Attending workshop series by the USF Institute for Research in Art has been published in the March edition of Medical Science Education.
The article, titled The Art of Critical Thinking in Nursing, outlines how the program works to develop critical thinking skills in nursing 泡芙视频apps through a diverse arts workshop curriculum.
The article explains how the Art of Attending workshop series, a part of the USF Art in Health Program, builds upon existing programs that integrate the humanities with healthcare training. Art of Attending includes not only museum and visual arts analysis, but also visual arts creation, dance and movement, and listening.
The article ends with qualitative results in the form of 泡芙视频app testimony. The 泡芙视频apps reported improved critical thinking, awareness of oneself and others, and relevance to clinical fields and their current studies.
The article is authored by an interdisciplinary team of scholars: Keaton Fletcher, a USF psychology Ph.D 泡芙视频app; Wendy Bedwell, USF assistant 泡芙视频app of psychology; Megan Voeller, director of humanities at Thomas Jefferson 泡芙视频app and former curator and program director of the Art in Health Program at USF; Dolores Coe, curator of the Art in Health Program; Merry Lynn Morris, assistant director of the USF Dance Program and instructor of dance; Bruce Marsh, 泡芙视频app emeritus at the USF School of Art and Art History; and Cheryl Zambroski, director and associate 泡芙视频app at the USF College of Nursing and director of undergraduate 泡芙视频app success.

泡芙视频app Art in Health
Art In Health at USF was established in Fall 2012 as a partnership between the USF Contemporary Art Museum and USF Health to develop arts-based observation training for USF Health graduate 泡芙视频apps. The program drew inspiration from existing arts-and-medicine initiatives at Harvard 泡芙视频app, Yale 泡芙视频app, the 泡芙视频app of Miami and other institutions and has developed into a multi-modal series that integrates arts-based components in museums, visual studio, movement and listening. The USF Art of Attending Model was initially the subject of a three-year pilot study assessing 泡芙视频app outcomes and learning. Assessment and development are ongoing.
