New medical school blends art and science in doctor training

Season 2026 Episode 25 | 8m 30s

A painting can't heal all that’s ailing the healthcare system, but it might help the healers themselves and, in turn, the people they care for. That is Alice Walton's goal for a new medical school seeking to transform medical education and the broader healthcare system. Jeffrey Brown has the story for our look at the intersection of art and health for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
