(More customer reviews)I have used this book a lot in my work. It presents ways of incorporating the arts - visual, narrative, drama, film, music - into medical education specifically and so of course in health professional education generally.Each chapter is a framework of ideas on how to utilise the arts in everyday teaching. The frameworks are easy to follow - it's then up to the educator to be aware of how to creatively integrate them into their lesson plans. This book emphasizes that the arts and medicine are not polarised, that they work together and that the outcome is a richer learning experience for students. Using different learning and teaching strategies sometimes requires a leap out of your comfort zone: you'll find yourself well rewarded for trying suggestions from this book.
