    Visual arts training significantly enhanced observational and empathy skills in neurology residents. This innovative approach offers a unique space for self-expression and personal growth, improving clinical observation and comfort with ambiguity.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Neurology
    • Art Therapy

    Background:

    • Visual arts training is known to improve observational, communication, and empathy skills in medical professionals.
    • Benefits for neurology residents specifically are less documented.
    • This study addresses the gap by exploring visual arts' impact on neurology residents.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce neurology residents to visual arts.
    • To enhance their observational and empathic skills.
    • To provide a space for self-expression and personal growth.

    Main Methods:

    • Neurology residents participated in art observation training sessions led by art educators at a museum.
    • Pre- and post-intervention tests assessed observational skills using artwork, MRIs, and clinical videos.
    • A paired Student t test analyzed changes in observational skills scores.

    Main Results:

    • Observational skills significantly improved (mean score 22.75 to 33.5, p=0.00005).
    • Most residents reported subjective improvements in communication, observation, and empathy.
    • Residents felt more comfortable with clinical ambiguity.

    Conclusions:

    • Visual arts training demonstrably improves neurology residents' observational skills.
    • Art integration in neurology education fosters empathy, humanity, and self-reflection.
    • This approach supports residents' professional development and well-being.
