Can Actors Help Teach Doctors How to Be More Empathetic?

May 13, 2016 by  Uncategorized /

The Arts Health Network recently shared an article from Slate titled "Can Actors Help Teach Doctors How to Be More Empathetic?"  The piece explores the relationship between doctors and medical actors, or standardized patients, in the work of Corinne May Botz. Slate reports that in a project titled "Bedside Manner,"  Botz considered questions that would frame the project, specifically whether students could learn empathy through the practice of medicine and whether art could teach viewers about empathy.
