In collaboration with the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, we set up an art-based educational course for medical students and surgical residents in the museum. We devised the ABCD-method to structure observational training entailing close observation in layers and a group discussion. A medical feature was included to provide medical context to the image and discussion. We aimed to evaluate the ABCD-method in a series of art-based workshops in the museum.\u003Cbr>Methods\u003Cbr>A series of paintings and sculptures were selected in which a possible physical abnormality or detail was detected. Participants observed the artworks in workshops containing exercises and group discussions. The ABCD-method includes A for attention, B for beholding what you see, C for communication and D for diagnosis. The program was evaluated in a post-workshop survey using a questionnaire rating ‘length and structure’of the course, ‘usefulness’ and ‘contribution to professional development’. Two groups were defined, one in which the workshops did not include the medical feature (group I), and the other in which the complete ABCD-method was followed (group II) .\u003Cbr>Results\u003Cbr>In total, 128 participants joined the workshops, of which 63 in group I and 65 in group II. All except one in group I, returned the questionnaires (response rate 99%) . Possible diagnostic interpretations and associated medical conditions ranged from neonatal macrosomia, to goitre and Cushing’s syndrome. We describe three art objects and associated conditions in more detail: Erb’s palsy, congenital clubfoot and accessory nerve lesion. In group I, scores for ‘length and structure’, ‘usefulness’ and ‘contribution to professional development’ of the workshops, were 74.2%, 95.2% and 88.7%, respectively. These items scored higher in group II, ie 92.3%, 93.8% and 92.3%, respectively.\u003Cbr>Conclusion\u003Cbr>Structured observation in the museum using the ABCD-method including a medical, diagnostic feature, proved a valued approach in art-based observational training for medical students and surgical residents. |  |\n| BACKGROUND\u003Cbr>Art-based learning has been recognized as an important element in the educational program of medical students and residents in training.1‑3 Several studies have shown en- | hancement of observational skills and social competencies through examining visual arts.4,5 A museum provides an excellent setting for observational training as it combines a fine collection of art works with an inspiring environment.6 Surgery largely depends on visual assessment of physical findings and diagnostic imaging necessary to consider a |\n\na Shared first authorship  \nCorrespondence: [t. m.vangulik@amsterdamumc.nl](t. m.vangulik@amsterdamumc.nl)b Shared first authorship  \nsurgical intervention, in conjunction with patients’ conditions and preferences.7 In particular in the OR, visual recognition of an anatomical situation and visual guidance of manual movements are paramount in performing an operation, whether in open surgery or in endoscopic procedures undertaken laparoscopically or robot-assisted. Eyehand coordination is key in operative surgery and starts with critical observation. Training the eye therefore, is as important in surgical education as training of manual skills.  \nIn collaboration with the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, we have set up an art-based course","cbCaitYLlL7ut4VW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitYLlL7ut4VW","pdf",2036350,"English","# Background\n# Methods\n## Program Design\n## The ABCD-method\n# Results\n# Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What is the ABCD-method used in the training?\",\"answer\":\"The ABCD-method structures observation into attention (A), beholding what you see (B), communication (C), and diagnosis (D) by adding a diagnostic medical context to the artwork discussion.\"},{\"question\":\"How were participants and workshops organized in the study?\",\"answer\":\"A series of paintings and sculptures with detectable possible abnormalities or details was selected.
