Escape to the Museum: Finding Connection and Meaning

The practice of hospice and palliative care provides the privilege of presence with patients, families, and colleagues at some of life's most important moments. These moments require close observation, and we often need to connect these observations to infer the deeper meaning for those involved. Within our daily practice and growing clinical demands, nurturing observational skills and reflective capacities in ourselves and our trainees can be a challenge. However, these approaches can be sustaining and restoring. One strategy that holds potential to address these needs for close observation and reflection is art museum teaching. Art museum teaching encompasses a variety of strategies in which medical and museum educators use art to impart lessons which are otherwise difficult to convey. This teaching has been studied with many types of learners, including medical students, residents and faculty as well as nurses and interprofessional groups. Outcomes include improved observational skills, pattern recognition, emotional recognition, empathy, identification of narrative, awareness of multiple perspectives, tolerance of ambiguity and positive views toward communication skills. Since these skills are central to hospice and palliative care, our training programs have started using art museum teaching as a core element of our curricula. This virtual session will focus on faculty experiences using these methods to teach hospice and palliative care trainees and interdisciplinary faculty. First, it will allow attendees to experience museum teaching in order to improve their own observational skills and connect to the meaning in their practice and a community of colleagues in a hierarchy-free setting. Second, attendees will reflect on how they might learn these teaching skills and collaborate with other educators to lead similar sessions for learners and colleagues in their home settings.
