Sydney Hammond is a third-year student in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at the Medical University of South Carolina. While pursuing her bachelor’s degree at Centre College, she had the opportunity to study the Chemistry of Artwork while spending a semester abroad in Strasbourg, France. As a physical therapy student, she has enjoyed integrating her love of the arts and humanities into patient care.
Cindy B. Dodds, PT, PhD, PCS and colleagues describe how their successful pilot program took physical therapy students out of the university setting and into a local art museum for a unique experience of observation using visual thinking strategies.
