Potentially, employing new metaphors and looking at the teaching and learning of medicine in a new way will facilitate the development of creative solutions. Main findings In this paper we propose the metaphor of medicine as a performing art. Building on this metaphor, string music education is compared to medical education. Principal conclusions Looking to string education as a model, suggestions for reorganisation of learning experiences, academic structure and assessment are discussed. Medical educators are encouraged to think about the challenges they face in creative ways. By looking outside traditional medical education, solutions may be found to new and old educational dilemmas. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
