Resumen
LEE, Lilith. Medicine and arts: an interdisciplinary course using problem-based learning in the medical programme. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2014, vol.17, n.2, pp.75-82. ISSN 2014-9840. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S2014-98322014000200004.
Introduction. This article describes an interdisciplinary elective, 'Disease and Medicine in the Plastic Arts', offered by the Medical School at the University of Girona, including the results and reflections of this experience. Materials and methods. Through the observation and description of three paintings, the students worked on three different medical issues. The learning strategy was problem-based learning (PBL). Furthermore, there was a seminar given by an art historian and two write-ups on photographs. Results. Twenty-two students registered for the elective, from which two groups were formed. The PBL exam and write-ups showed progress of the students. Conclusions. The comments of the students in the survey are positive, although the number of students that has responded is not very high, which is a task for improvement in the future. Thirty-six students have chosen this elective as their preference for the following academic year (2012-2013), which shows the success of this initiative and the rising interest of the students in the integration of medicine and humanities.
