A.T. Still Memorial Library hosts ATSU-ASHS DPT student art show

First-year Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students at A.T. Still University-Arizona School of Health Sciences (ATSU-ASHS) had the opportunity to showcase their creativity during a recent art show organized by Jeffrey Andrion, PhD, PT, MA, assistant professor.

A.T. Still Memorial Library hosted the exhibit, entitled "Expressions of Vulnerability and Empathy: A Journey Through Art and Healing," on Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2024.

Dr. Andrion challenged students to interpret complex case studies through diverse mediums, from the visual arts, such as paintings and drawings, to the performing arts, including dance.

By engaging with art, students delved deeper into the patient experience, fostering empathy, vulnerability, and a profound understanding of the human condition. This innovative approach not only enhances their clinical skills but also cultivates a holistic perspective on healthcare.
