Students and residents celebrate The Art of Medicine

Sponsored by the Wellness Council and the Gold Humanism Honor Society, The Art of Medicine showcased students' and residents' artistic talents. The event was held Nov. 14 in the MacQueen Alumni Center Grand Ballroom. 

Seventeen medical students, two doctoral students, and two residents participated as artists at the event, which featured paintings, ceramics, jewelry, drawings, singing, and piano and guitar playing.

In honor of the late Cindy Sheets, M.D., the groups collected book donations for USA Health's Reach Out and Read Program. 

Additionally, the event raised $4,540 for the Dr. Cindy S. Sheets Endowment for Early Literacy. The total includes a $1,000 matching gift from John Marymont, M.D., M.B.A., dean of the Whiddon College of Medicine and vice president for medical affairs.
