Exploring the intersection of art and medical history

The Pulse of Art program harnesses the power of art to hone observational skills, enhance empathy, illuminate the course of medical history, and respect others’ perspectives in the face of ambiguity.

The Pulse of Art is a program developed by Barry Coller, MD and Bobbi Coller, PhD that integrates the history of art with the history of medicine.

The Collers co-teach the Pulse of Art program and have led a yearly course at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai since 2009. In addition, they have delivered presentations at the Rockefeller University and Stony Brook University. They have also taught in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum’s on-line educational program.
