Abstract
As medicine advances through biotechnology and artificial intelligence, the human side of medicine needs to be focused on for medical students to learn to show care and empathy. The visual, actually seeing, looking, and observing the patient is also vital for diagnosis. Especially in the age of technology, this cannot be lost. The use of artworks in the training of medical students is vital; thus, developing the actual art of medicine required to treat and understand patients as more than vessels of disease. Training in narrative medicine to develop skills using the arts to improve patient outcomes and the well-being of caregivers will be focused on in this creative practice showcase. Narrative medicine is an interdisciplinary field that uses the humanities and arts to improve the delivery of healthcare and give voice to all. A pilot study, an overview of research, and an exploration of the field will be discussed based on the presenter’s Certification of Professional Achievement in Narrative Medicine from Columbia University, USA, current doctoral studies at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and work at the Arabain Gulf University College of Medicine and Medical Sciences, and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland- Bahrain.
