Artist Statement
As the creator of the poem "From Didactic to Healing Hands," I am delighted to share my perspective on the inspiration and intent behind this piece.
The poem serves as a heartfelt exploration of the evolution that occurs as we transition from the theoretical world of classrooms and lectures to the practical, human-centered realm of healthcare. It's a journey that demands not only the accumulation of knowledge but the nurturing of empathy, compassion, and the courage to step into the role of healing with confidence.
I wanted to convey the interconnectedness of science and the art of medicine, emphasizing that our actions carry the lessons we've learned and the stories we've absorbed.
The poem is a celebration of the metamorphosis that happens when students become healers, when knowledge finds its purpose in the betterment of lives.
