About this listen

What if your doctor prescribed a poem? What if the surgeon removing your tumor took an improv class? On this episode of Health Matters, we continue our conversation on the intersection of art and medicine. First, Dr. Shelley Noland — a hand and peripheral nerve surgeon and medical director of the Center for Humanities in Medicine — joins us to explore what the science says about the healing power of the arts. Then, we talk with Tane Danger, artist-in-residence at Mayo Clinic, about how he uses improv to help clinicians deliver better care. Sign up to receive Mayo Clinic Press emails.
