This one-hour interactive webinar organized by the Medical Humanities and Ethics Unit (MedHEU) focused on providing the tools and increased the skills on how to read images and visual narratives. Formal analysis of artworks, being an important transferable skill in real- life scenarios warrants skills for observation. It also helps to assess reactions and interpretations of certain narratives occurring in front of us, as beings. The webinar was designed to be able to create more cognizant individuals who can be visually attentive to the experiences and situations happening in our daily lives.
