I found this today about how understanding and appreciating art can make medical students become better doctors in how they relate to patients and by fine tuning their observation skills. I love this. It helps them learn empathy and helps prevent physician burnout by finding other view points. As an artist who has an understanding of biological science, it would be really interesting to be able to teach an art class for doctors. https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-art-help-med-students-better-doctors

@jenniferhunter thanks for sharing this link I really enjoyed seeing the art and reading how it can help patients .There so many things that give patients a joy ,we use to do pet therapy and music therapy.My understanding is now there is Drumm ing therapy that is helping.
