Abstract
Merging arts and humanities with anatomical sciences can be viewed as part of the medical/health humanities movement providing healthcare students and qualified professionals with an opportunity to develop an insight into human suffering and illness by proxy (Varsou, 2020a). In this talk, I will discuss two cases that I have been using, in online learning and/or physical on-campus settings, that showcase the amalgamation of these fields. The first case explores the role of anatomically-related visual imagery within the context of modern research and teaching (Varsou, 2023), whereas the second case focuses on how poetry can be used as a means of promoting reflection (Varsou, 2020b). Both cases are framed around the theory of object-based learning and grounded on the pedagogical paradigm of humanism. Active exploration of arts and humanities, including written poetry, in the context of anatomical sciences has the potential to stimulate rich multidisciplinary discussions, better insight into challenging topics and self-reflection (Varsou, 2023).
