StonehockerMedical Student (2014), Arts and Humanities in Medicine Class Representative,Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Alberta, Edmonton, CanadaCorrespondence to Sarah Stonehocker: Email: sarah.stonehocker@ualberta.caMaking time for art is not always easy,especially for medical and dental students.Keeping up with lectures, readings,assignments and clinical skills leaves littleroom for photography, painting, sketchingand other artistic projects. 1 The arts can beeasily pushed to the backburner, forgotten,or crowded out by the demands of theseintensive programs. For Katie Stringer,a second year medical student at theUniversity of Alberta, keeping photographya part of her life has become increasinglydifficult: “In some ways it makes me sadto talk about my art these days. While ithas brought me a lot of joy over the years,I now find myself wishing I had more timeto explore my craft.” 2 This sentiment is notunique. As students in health sciences, wecan safely expect an emphasis on scienceand medicine in our studies. However, it’snot only Katie who recognizes the addedvalue of engaging in art. As demonstratedby twenty five undergraduate medicaland dental students, artistic expressionthrough visual arts can play a powerful andmultifaceted role in processing, enjoying andimproving our educational experience.“The sciences and arts were once, notso very long ago, considered to be verysimilar, certainly complementary, andsometimes even overlapping ways ofunderstanding the world. No longer. Todaywe accept such generalizations as thatthe sciences are objective, analytical, andrational whereas the arts are subjective,emotional, and based on intuition.” 3 Thisgenerally accepted division between artand science was challenged by the studentswho showcased their work last April at thelaunch of the University of Alberta Medical& Dental Student Art Show. The idea for theevent was sparked when medical studentContinued on page 20University of Alberta Health Sciences Journal • April 2012 • Volume 7 • Issue 1 17
