Creative Process

This process, which draws on unexpected reservoirs of experience and imagination, is radically different from students’ usual experience on the medical course, which is mainly concerned with the acquisition of pre-existing knowledge. Processing experiences through the arts – students find a safe means to interrogate the intersection between personal and biomedical, extend their creative repertoires, develop confidence in holding multiple perspectives and deepen their medical knowledge through collaborative arts enquiries.
