      ab: Rationale and Objectives: The purpose of this study is to explore how representational paintings of radiology encounters with patients may impact medical students' understanding and impression of both radiologists and the radiology profession.Methods: Participants included third year medical students at a single institution rotating through a one-week radiology elective. Three works of art were analyzed using the validated Visual Thinking Strategies technique. Data collected included a postsession questionnaire and transcriptions of audio-recorded sessions. Data analysis involved both qualitative and quantitative methodology.Results: Fifty students participated; all participants completed the postsession questionnaire and 10 participated in the audio recorded sessions. Total 82% found the experience "very enjoyable" and 86% agreed that the paintings positively affected their understanding of how radiologists provide care to patients; 96% would recommend this session to others. Exploring representational paintings of radiology encounters seemed to influence perception and understanding of radiology with students reporting "light bulb moments;" create a dissonance between the student experience and the experience depicted in the paintings; and address gaps in content specific knowledge.Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that analyzing paintings depicting radiology encounters with patients can challenge negative stereotypes that medical students have of the radiology profession and radiologists. This arts-based learning module employing a learning strategy such as Visual Thinking Strategies, should be considered by the radiology profession as a strategy to positively inform and educate trainees about the specialty.
