Episode 200: Dr Meredith Herman - How #PathArt Enhances Education and Connection With Patients

Listen Later

Today my guest is Dr Meredith Herman.

What we discuss with Dr Herman:

  • The recently published paper titled "#Path Art: From Glass Slide to Canvas with a Mission of Enlightening the Burdens of Life."
  • The inspiration for the paper came from the use of the hashtag #PathArt on social media, where pathologists share artistic representations of histology and pathology.
  • The research involved exploring the historical use of art in pathology, dating back to the 1600s, and its role in education before modern technology.
  • Pathology is inherently visual, making art a natural fit for the field; many pathologists have creative hobbies.
  • The rise of Path Twitter (now Path X) has positively influenced the pathology community, fostering a movement around pathology art.
  • Path art competitions have emerged, promoting interest in pathology among students and the public.
  • Ethical considerations in path art include maintaining patient anonymity and being sensitive to the serious nature of diseases depicted.
  • The importance of intent in sharing art, aiming for education and appreciation rather than trivialization.
  • White Coat Artistry, which Dr Herman started during medical school, and has grown through social media engagement.
  • Dr Herman's journey into pathology beginning with an interest in biomedical laboratory science and was solidified by mentorship from a pathologist.
