Physicians will have a greater impact on health if they advocate for changes needed to prevent illness and harm than if they simply patch up those who are sick or harmed.

The 1960s were a transformative decade in the history of the United States: the civil rights movement, opposition to the war in Vietnam, environmentalism, and a host of other causes inspired an entire generation of citizens to become more active in shaping the world around them. At the same time, the government was expanding tremendously with the establishment of programs such as Medicare and Medicaid to help provide health care to America’s elderly and poor. Physicians were looking closely at these historic events and noting that the medical community had yet to come to terms with this new world of activism [1]. Among them were five medical school professors, who, after gathering at a national meeting in the late 1960s and noting the detached and passive model of medical practice promulgated in medical education at the time, proposed a pilot program called the Clinical Scholars Program (CSP) to train physicians to become agents of change, not only in the clinic and in the hospital, but also in communities, in classrooms, and in the halls of power [2]. For the first three years of its existence (1969-1972), the program was based at five universities and funded jointly by the Carnegie Corporation and the Commonwealth Fund. In 1972, it found a new home in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), an organization whose recent philanthropic focus on hospitals and medical care coincided with the CSP’s aims of improving the quality of American health care [3, 4]. While the leadership, participating institutions, and specific structure of the program have changed over the past four decades, the objectives have remained largely the same: to provide nonbiological training to physicians in a variety of specialties to expand access to health services, improve quality of care, and develop a base of evidence to inform national health care policy [3]. After training 1,200 scholars over the past 45 years, the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program is accepting its final cohort in 2014 [5]. It leaves behind a legacy of inspiring two generations of physicians to venture beyond the clinic and the hospital to be agents of change for the health care of all Americans.

A three-axis model provides a frame for organizing the interactions between medicine and the visual arts. Longitudinally, visual functioning is part of an individual’s life from infancy through old age. We learn about the world through visual stimuli from early on and we continuously receive, process, and produce visual information (e.g., in the process of nonverbal communication). We can think of the visual arts as a subset of all visual functioning.

Up until June 2014, Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) and United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) policy dictated that lungs for children under the age of 12 be strictly allocated in the US on a first-come, first-served basis, unlike lungs for adults and children over 12, which are allocated by an algorithm (Lung Allocation Score) that takes into account factors such as disease progression and life expectancy [2]. What began as one mother’s fight to save her child’s life through medical treatment she believed her daughter deserved quickly transformed into a public controversy about organ transplant allocation policies that was widely broadcast to the American public via television, newspapers, and digital media sources.
