Clarice Pearce Byres Road Community Hub is delighted to host an exhilarating exhibition of artwork produced by 13 Glasgow medical students from their “Navigating Uncertainty in Medicine with the Arts and Science” elective this summer. It is the physical representation of their learning and the culmination of an intense (90 hour) period of study over 4 weeks. Students experienced a variety of the Humanities (literature, theatre and performance, art, music and film) taught by internationally recognised expert colleagues from Brazil, The Netherlands, USA and London. Scientific subjects included clinical reasoning, statistics, inclusive and public health, multimorbidity, treatment burden and evidence-based medicine, among others. Most of these students have never “done” art before.

 

The students are thrilled at this exciting opportunity to share their work with everyone, particularly as the installation coincides with the 50th Anniversary celebrations of the founding of the Academic Department of General Practice and Primary Care. We look forward to welcoming you to experience this wonderful and eclectic collection.

 

The exhibition's title is inspired by Peter Reynold's book "The Dot" - about a teacher who encourages a student to start small, believe in herself, and see where it goes. The result: transformational change, with ripple effect. This is what our students and academic educators have achieved with this elective. Everyone undoubtedly an O.G."
