This is just a couple of the ones I, Clopha Deshotel, and a student here at HCC Chris Komsky found.
At the prompting of Chris (looking for an essay topic for a class) we began with a simple search on Google to find this and other articles.
Since I work in the Tutoring Center at the community college in downtown Bridgeport, I have the chance for casual discussions with many students.
I am not faculty. Just a clerk typist am I.
I sent this to Shante Hanks in Jim Himes office because she worked here at Housatonic Community College up until recently.
My wife and I have five children and we visit the two galleries at Yale quite often.
I will contact you the next time we plan a school field trip.

Subject: RE:
Please let me know who sent these articles. I appreciate the gesture.
The Yale Medical School and the Yale Center for British Art just celebrated the 10th year of our unique collaboration. We also work with the Nursing School, the School of Management (Yale’s Business School), the Physician Assistants, and Early Educators. I have collaborated on this program with Dr. Braverman, and both of us put it together. We have visited 30 – 40 medical schools between us. It is gratifying at how many have recognized the importance of enhancing observational skills to improve doctors in training clinical skills.
I have also worked with the Wharton School of Business at U Penn.
If you would like more information, please contact me.

Doctors Learn Art and Medicine
By JOANN LOVIGLIO, Associated Press Writer

Modern medicine provides doctors with an array of sophisticated machines that collect and present data about their patients, but the human eye is an invaluable yet often under-appreciated diagnostic tool.
To address that, a new collaboration of Jefferson Medical College and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts has been created to teach aspiring doctors to closely observe, describe and interpret the subtlest details with the eye of an artist.
The art-and-medicine program kicked off its first workshop last week with a group of 18 white-coated medical students visiting the academy's museum and a dynamic representation of their chosen profession: Thomas Eakins' masterwork "The Gross Clinic," which depicts an operation in progress.
The first- and second-year med students heard how to take a "visual inventory" — paying attention to overall elements of the painting, such as texture and brightness, and specifics, such as body language and facial expressions.

Medical School-Museum Partnerships Foster Innovation
Throughout his 40-year career, Yale University School of Medicine Dermatology Professor Irwin Braverman, M.D., had been urging residents to pay attention to the subtler points of the rashes they were observing in patients.
"Not just the gross changes but the fine details sometimes really provide the clues as to what's going on," he said.
But after years of doing this, he concluded residents were memorizing what they had observed, not learning how to visually analyze something they had never seen before.
So one day in 1998, after a disappointing set of rounds with residents, Braverman had a mild epiphany.
"I thought, what if I showed them something with which they had no prejudices or biases?" he said. "I bet they'd tell me about everything that's there, because they don't know what's supposed to be important and unimportant. So what could I show them? It immediately popped into my head: a painting."
After that, Braverman and his residents were soon viewing and describing narrative paintings at the nearby Yale Center for British Art.
