This presentation will feature:
The 2009 CAC Dialogue in Best Practice explores the power of theatre to teach empathy in health education settings, be they in classrooms or conference halls. The Dialogue begins with a brief moderated discussion among Dr. Tracy Hoffman (Medical College of Wisconsin), Merri Biechler (University of Indianapolis), author of a play about cancer and caregiving, and Barbara Leigh (Milwaukee Public Theater), who tours a show about disability to schools and other settings. The discussion then opens to include the audience to the dialogue.
Sample questions include: What projects might be needed/effective in Milwaukee? How can the arts be helpful to community health? What is the unique impact of the arts in medical education? The dialogue is ideal for people interested in using theater in public health, academic settings, or professional settings.
Limited to 40 people. Reservations required. FREE.
