To provide patient-centered holistic care, doctors must possess good interpersonal and empathic skills. Medical schools traditionally adopt a skill-based approach to such training, but creative engagement with the arts has also been effective. Physicians do not receive from the medical model the same explicit guidance in relating to their patients as in making diagnoses and prescribing pharmacological and other treatments. To meet this need, art can offer a framework for expanding the model. A novel arts-based approach may help medical students and doctors develop an empathic understanding of patients and can contribute to connectional experience more visible to clinicians and to encourage the systematic exploration of its role in medical care. If the incorporation of knowledge about the connectional experience into the basic paradigm of medicine is to improve patient-doctor relationships, it should provide new insights and lead us to new attitudes and actions. Such inquiry will result in a complete medical model that will better guide our practice and teaching, helping us to relate to our patients more skillfully and effectively, even as we strive to provide ever-improving technical care. The aim of this work is through art display different types of connections, perspectives, benefits as well as problems in the doctor-patient relationship that would be induced by the systematic study of the role of this relationship in the treatment of patients as well as the implementation of the arts in education that develops the skills essential to establish that relationship.
