Plenary talks
This interactive opening highlights the transformative power of the arts in health care and health professions education. It raises fundamental questions about how you see the world and others in it, and how others may see you and the work you do. During the lecture, you will engage in exercises that trigger your imagination and perhaps challenge your perspective: that depends on how you see it…
