Art, Technology, Medicine: Creativity and Innovation in the Health Sciences

Abstract

The goal of ATM was to introduce our community to ways in which creative and technological arts can enhance the medical profession. The event brought students, staff, and faculty together for fun and stress relief while teaching about different aspects of medical education, patient education, and therapy. , , This program was the cornerstone of a series of events celebrating National Medical Librarians Month. Our audience was the students, faculty, and staff of a graduate-level health sciences school. Drawing on the expertise of other campus departments, we expanded our programming from graphic medicine to include other aspects of creative and technological expression. Each of the six event stations included examples of the of the therapeutic/educational modality, and some also included demonstrations or interactive components.
