From Huffington Post: What Medical Students Can Learn From Art Museums

In this article from  the Huffington Post  (2/12/16), Priscilla Frank writes:

“A hospital is not just a laboratory. A patient is not simply a diagnosis. And medicine is often more than a science…. And while art may not seem like the most essential aspect of a medical curriculum, amidst a stream of facts, diagrams, equations and machines, its value is critical. Standing before a carved sarcophagus from 350 B.C. can communicate the unspeakable magnitude of death and dying more than a textbook ever could.”

Good thing CALA offers a variety of non-credit art history courses every semester, many of which include visits to NYC galleries and museums. For a current list of art courses click here.
