The Pulitzer’s Medical Humanities program offered virtual workshops to medical students and professionals that focused on observation skills, increasing tolerance for ambiguity, and building empathy. The program was developed in collaboration with Dr. Somalee Banerjee, a physician/public health researcher at the Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, California.
The exhibition Hannah Wilke: Art for Life’s Sake provided a perfect springboard to discuss complex topics related to medical training: the human body and symbolism, death and dying, the meaning of life and work, among others.
