Training the Eye:
The Art of Clinical Observation - a workshop taught by museum education staff at the Hood Museum of Art - is designed to enhance observation and diagnostic skills in future health professionals through the careful examination of works of art. Similar
workshops are currently offered to medical students at the Geisel School of Medicine and health professionals at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and Norris Cotton Cancer Center. The goal is to help pre-health students look and think critically and communicate
effectively about what they see. The workshop will also demonstrate what it means to truly engage with a work of art and demonstrate the role an art museum can play to restore and renew the spirit.
