As artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly influences the healthcare landscape, integrating medical humanities into health professions education becomes essential for cultivating critical thinking and empathetic patient care. Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS), a framework for open discussions about visual art, emerges as a valuable pedagogical approach within this context. This guide presents a comprehensive overview of VTS, including its theoretical foundations and practical implementation. It offers insights into performing a needs assessment, facilitator training and session structure, essential for designing and running VTS sessions, as well as methods for evaluating VTS program effectiveness. By elucidating these elements, the guide aims to assist health professions educators in successfully incorporating VTS into their curricula, enhancing both the educational experience and the quality of healthcare delivery.
