Introduction Examples of Use of the Arts in Medical and Health Education Challenges and Opportunities Conclusion This article has focused on the arts in health sciences education, rather than practice (where the arts are also used to support patient and practitioner well-being). In doing so, this article underscores the need to broaden an understanding of the benefits of the arts beyond K-12 education, through to post-secondary educational experiences, and in particular, the education of health professionals. Given this overview, a conceptual mapping of the area of “arts-in-health” would include medical and health education, as well as professional practice, continuing professional education, arts in healthcare, arts as healing, arts and health promotion, and the idea of health benefits of the arts “in other places” (such as schools, community centres, prisons, continuing care facilities, etc.), continuing arts education, lifelong learning, and participatory arts (including amateur arts involvement), among other points of connection. This article draws attention to the many ways in which artists and the arts contribute to education, as well as the life and culture of Canada. It also underscores the expansive synergy that exists between the arts, culture, health, and well-being.
