The Faculty of Medicine of Université de Montréal is joining forces with the MMFA in an innovative project: training future doctors through works of art. Complementing their hands-on classroom work, these workshop visits at the Museum allow medical students to hone their communication and clinical observation skills. This unique program, initiated by Aspasia Karalis, Assistant Clinical Professor in Université de Montréal’s Faculty of Medicine, consists of three workshop visits at the MMFA and is offered to some 350 first-year medical students from the university’s Montreal campus. These immersive learning activities take place at the Museum, under the joint leadership of 50 professors of medicine and about 10 professional mediators from the MMFA. Based on the methodology of Visual Thinking Strategies, they combine workshops on the art of observing, interpretive exercises and reflection activities on three themes: Connecting With People, The Other Person’s Perspective and Ways of Life.
