Summary

Physician training must evolve beyond traditional methods to foster creativity, essential for navigating complex clinical practice. Embracing the doctor as a "maker" and artist enhances problem-solving and patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Cognitive Science
  • Arts in Medicine

Background:

  • Traditional medical training inadequately prepares physicians for the inherent complexity and uncertainty of clinical practice.
  • Effective response to ill-defined or unusual clinical problems necessitates creative thinking and adaptive expertise.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for the integration of creativity into medical education and practice.
  • To propose an expanded role for physicians as "makers" and artists, alongside their traditional evidence-based roles.
  • To highlight the value of embracing "not-knowing" as a generative space in medical decision-making.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis and synthesis of existing literature on medical education, creativity, and the humanities.
  • Exploration of a reimagined view of medical knowledge and patient narratives.
