Abstract
As artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly influences the healthcare landscape, integrating medical humanities into health professions education becomes essential for cultivating critical thinking and empathetic patient care. Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS), a framework for open discussions about visual art, emerges as a valuable pedagogical approach within this context. This guide presents a comprehensive overview of VTS, including its theoretical foundations and practical implementation. It offers insights into performing a needs assessment, facilitator training and session structure, essential for designing and running VTS sessions, as well as methods for evaluating VTS program effectiveness. By elucidating these elements, the guide aims to assist health professions educators in successfully incorporating VTS into their curricula, enhancing both the educational experience and the quality of healthcare delivery.
期刊介绍：
Medical Teacher provides accounts of new teaching methods, guidance on structuring courses and assessing achievement, and serves as a forum for communication between medical teachers and those involved in general education. In particular, the journal recognizes the problems teachers have in keeping up-to-date with the developments in educational methods that lead to more effective teaching and learning at a time when the content of the curriculum—from medical procedures to policy changes in health care provision—is also changing. The journal features reports of innovation and research in medical education, case studies, survey articles, practical guidelines, reviews of current literature and book reviews. All articles are peer reviewed.
