Summary
Arts-based medical education enhances professional development for general practitioner (GP) trainees. This approach fosters competence, humanity, and a deeper patient perspective, improving doctors' well-being.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Arts in Medicine
- Professional Development
Background:
- Arts-based medical education is established in undergraduate curricula.
- Its value and acceptability for postgraduate medical training, particularly for general practitioner (GP) trainees, remain underexplored.
- This study investigates GP trainees' perceptions of arts-based education's utility in their professional growth.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine GP trainees' views on the usefulness of arts-based education for professional development.
- To understand the perceived value of arts-based educational interventions among GP trainees.
- To assess the impact of arts engagement on GP trainees' competence, humanity, and well-being.
Main Methods:
- A one-day introductory arts-based course was delivered to first and second-year GP trainees.
- A subsequent mandatory six-month arts-based course was conducted for six GP trainees.
- Qualitative analysis of focus group discussions was used to evaluate feedback from the longer course.
Main Results:
- The one-day course was rated as interesting, enjoyable, and thought-provoking by GP trainees.
- A majority of trainees believed the arts could enhance their competence and humanity as doctors.
- The six-month course was found to be enjoyable and valuable, deepening appreciation for patient perspectives and promoting self-reflection on health and well-being.
Conclusions:
- Arts-based education is perceived as valuable for GP trainees' professional development.
- The arts can contribute to developing more competent and humane doctors.
- Arts engagement positively influences trainees' understanding of patient experiences and their own well-being.

The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Gestalt psychology, founded by Max Wertheimer, Kurt Koffka, and Wolfgang Kohler, emphasizes the importance of understanding perception as an organized whole. Developed as a counter to Wilhelm Wundt's structuralism, this approach posits that our perceptions are more than just the sum of sensory parts; they are comprehensive wholes where the relationships between parts define the perception. The principle "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts" encapsulates this view,...
