Visualising the body in art and medicine: a visual art course for medical students at King's College Hospital in 1999.

For many centuries science and art have been studied as completely separate disciplines, and career paths likewise, have diverged. However, in recent years there has been a renewed cultural interest in art/science collaborations, coupled with the perception that a medical education which did not embrace the humanities 'tended to brutalize and dehumanize' (Weatherall, British Medical Journal 309 (1994) 1671-1672) future doctors. It was against this background of the growth of multi-disciplinary collaborative projects and a dissatisfaction with an 'incomplete' medical education, that an opportunity arose for a visual arts course to be set up at a London teaching hospital in 1999. The following dialogue sets out to explore the difficulties, the great joys and the emotions generated by a 'Special Study Module' created by both artists and clinicians.
