Tending the caring heart within: Compassion training in medicine
The science and evidence are clear – compassion benefits patient health outcomes, helps alleviate clinician burnout, strengthens relationships, and improves organizational measures such as employee turnover, absenteeism, revenue, and costs. In this experiential workshop, we will explore the science of compassion and the difference between empathy (empathic distress) and compassion, and experience a taste of compassion training through interactive and contemplative exercises.

The Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care and Bioethics - GRAND ROUNDS
WITH AN ARTISTIC VISION: Further Inquiries into Perception, the Arts and Eye Disease
Are humans "hard-wired" to perceive beauty? Are there foundational neurological underpinnings to aesthetics? The field of neuroaesthetics is blossoming, and this talk will explore some fascinating sidebars at the intersection of vision, perception and the arts. An overview of visual archetypes in the history of art will be followed by an examination of the optical problems of self-portraiture. The synesthesias relating to music and color will be discussed, and the talk will conclude with an analysis of the artistic oeuvre of Monet, DeGas, van Gogh, El Greco, Goya and O'Keefe, positing the question: Is eye disease an obstacle or an opportunity for artists to manifest their full artistic genius?

LEONARDO AT 500: A Lesson in Creativity
Dr. Sal Mangione
Thursday, June 1, 2017
4:00 PM – 5:30 PM
HSC, Lecture Hall 6
“2019 will mark the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death. Arguably the most creative person who ever lived, Leonardo was exquisitely gifted in both arts and science, which he practiced as a “scientist of art and an artist of science.” In fact, Leonardo would have laughed at today’s separation between arts and science, since he considered himself a humanist who happened to be both an artist and a scientist.”
