Piecing It Together, paper on paper, Taryn O’Neill, Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick, class of 2016. O’Neill writes: “This piece progressed over my first and second years of medical school as I became more familiar with anatomy. Quilling is a form of art that entails rolling paper into different shapes and arranging them to create an image. This was similar to my approach to learning anatomy where I had to understand each part separately before I could understand it as a whole.”

Anatomy of a Healer, acrylic on canvas, Susan Mengxiao Ge, McGill University, class of 2016. Ge writes: “As we journey through our medical education, we all experience struggles that help us grow. This painting conveys the transformation of a student into a physician and a healer. Each layer of anatomy is a key characteristic that builds upon the basic infrastructure of ‘knowledge,’ is nourished by the lifeblood of a ‘dream,’ all adding flesh and substance to the outstretched ‘healing hand’.”

Untitled #1, pen on paper, Jessica Kapralik, University of Ottawa, class of 2016. Kapralik writes: “I find that when studying, it is easy to get so caught up in the mechanics and memorizing that I forget why I became interested in medicine to begin with. Expressing the body from a more creative perspective helps to remind myself of the complexity that attracted me to a field in which I can work with the body and all of its intricacies every day.”
