Many studies have examined the role of medical humanities in processing overall academic and emotional experiences, but few have studied the impact of visual art on human body dissection reflection. At the Duke University School of Medicine, the Anatomy Drawing Program, which has had over 150 participants in the past 7 years, invites healthcare students to learn and apply art while reflecting on their emotions and experiences associated with human body dissection.
In the 2022-2023 year, 29 medical, physician assistant, and pathologists' assistant students participated in six sessions of guest speaker lectures, art lessons, and donor anatomical drawing. An end-of-program survey examined perspectives on human body dissection, anatomy, art, wellness, and interprofessional relationships. Themes within these responses were analyzed.
Twenty-one out of 29 participants consented to having the survey responses analyzed. Analysis revealed five themes: the Anatomy Drawing Program's positive impact on wellness, ability to process human body dissection, opportunity to express creativity, appreciation of anatomical details, and benefits of interprofessional interactions.
Providing time and space for artistic expression in the context of anatomical education may be beneficial for reflective processing. This is not limited to human body dissection, as the intersection between art and medicine can play various roles in overall trainee education, wellness, and skill development. A humanistic approach in healthcare curricula is invaluable for the formation of well-rounded medical professionals.
许多研究探讨了医学人文在处理整体学术和情感体验方面的作用，但很少有研究考察视觉艺术对人体解剖反思的影响。在杜克大学医学院，过去7年有超过150名参与者的解剖绘图项目，邀请医学生在反思与人体解剖相关的情感和经历时学习和应用艺术。
在2022 - 2023学年，29名医学、医师助理和病理学家助理专业的学生参加了六次客座演讲、艺术课程和捐赠者解剖绘图课程。课程结束时的一项调查考察了学生对人体解剖、解剖学、艺术、健康和跨专业关系的看法。对这些回答中的主题进行了分析。
29名参与者中有21人同意对调查回答进行分析。分析揭示了五个主题：解剖绘图项目对健康的积极影响、处理人体解剖的能力、表达创造力的机会、对解剖细节的欣赏以及跨专业互动的益处。
在解剖学教育背景下为艺术表达提供时间和空间可能有利于反思过程。这并不局限于人体解剖，因为艺术与医学的交叉在整体学员教育、健康和技能发展中可以发挥多种作用。医疗保健课程中的人文方法对于培养全面发展的医学专业人员非常宝贵。
