Video-based doctor-patient scenarios are commonly used in medical education. These videos typically represent a clinical scenario that serves as a stimulus for a small-group discussion. However, the meaning of the videos extends beyond the learning situation and the particular patient case. Due to focus on biomedical problem-solving, disregard of the cinematic techniques, and the perceived separation between clinical and humanities aspects of medicine, many scenarios fail to portray the reality of medical practice and compassionate health care. The project analyses selected video scenarios used in medical education, and develops new videos for the partnering medical schools. Next to clinical teachers, the process involves interviews with patients. The project uses arts-based methods of data collection, analysis, and dissemination, contributing to the students’ holistic views both of the patient and themselves as a professional. It will be conducted in collaboration with the University of Tampere, Rice University and the University of Copenhagen. The project is funded by the Academy of Finland.
BIO
Kaisu Koski is an artist-researcher who studied media and performance art and theory. She earned her doctoral degree with a dissertation on interactive performances in 2007 in the University of Lapland. She focuses on the dialogue between art and biomedicine, arts-based medical education and the methodology of arts-based research. Between 2011-2013 Kaisu conducted a postdoctoral research project, exploring the various representations of the body in medical education. In 2014 she was granted a Title of Docent in arts-based research in the University of Tampere. The Academy of Finland awarded her an Academy Research Fellow funding for 2015-2020. This project investigates and develops arts-based trigger videos for problem-based learning in medical curricula in Finland, Denmark and the U.S.
