The 3rd Annual Arts in Healthcare Clinical Practice Intensive program is scheduled for August 2-13, 2010.

Participants in the Advanced Clinical Practice track will immerse in daily cross-disciplinary clinical practice at two area hospitals and in in-depth explorations of practice supported by current research and theory. The program will provide advanced practitioners with a uniquely enriching opportunity for professional development, inspiration, and renewal, and will deepen and expand individual clinical practice models.

Participants in the Introductory Track will explore the applications of visual arts, writing, music, theatre, and dance in healthcare fields and settings through hands-on studio workshops, clinical observation, review of current literature, and discussion-based exploration of clinical practice with advanced practitioners.

The two tracks come together each day for lectures on relevant arts in healthcare topics, “journal club” explorations of current literature, and for in-depth roundtable discussions of clinical practice based on the current clinical experiences and grounded in theory and current research.
