Here is an example for what I have been thinking about in my previous post: The Westervelt-Warner Museum in Tuscaloosa offers two-day seminars for medical students to hone their skills in analyzing an object. Participants will learn to analyze a work of art and the use of a particular vocabulary. The idea is to develop the skills needed in diagnosing a patient's symptoms by "diagnosing" an artist's possible intentions for a work of art. And so far I have not heard that this project has fallen on the way-side; instead, even medical staff at the UA Medical School in Tuscaloosa praised it during a recent talk with me.
