As I have mentioned in several of my previous blogs, art observation is acknowledged more and more for its value in enhancing observational skills and sharpening the diagnostic eye of medical students. Courses in studying art are being offered at many medical schools, and, at one university in particular, it is a required course. You may read more about this in the Yale Medicine Magazine: How Looking at Paintings Became a Required Course in Medical School.
This technique for fine tuning our analysis of detail and discovery is not only limited to the medical field. New York City detectives are also discovering the social and professional benefits to studying art. Sarah Lyall speaks to this in her New York Times article: Off the Beat and Into a Museum: Art Helps Police Officers Learn to Look.
Enjoy this fine art of discovery.
