Enriching your career through the arts

Abstract

• One can use the arts as a source of personal sustenance and renewal, a means of medical education, professional development and community building, a research topic, or a healing modality with patients. • The arts can also be a powerful source of professional development and renewal for medical professionals at all career stages, and can also serve a community-building purpose. • There are multiple ways that creative arts can be used directly with patients with an explicit goal of healing.
