Abstract
Core competencies for health professionals include the ability to translate visual and auditory cues to make meaningful connections to their patients and the presenting health conditions. Health professional trainees can learn and practice these observation, visualization, and interpretation skills in the context of experiencing visual art. Museum educators and health professions educators have worked together to provide experiences that incorporate these skills into medical education curricula. Participants will have the opportunity to work in pairs to practice the skills of describing visual input and interpreting auditory input using visual works of art.
