The Wiregrass Museum of Art and the Alabama College of osteopathic medicine have partnered up to help the community learn with the “AIM to Heal” exhibit.

DOTHAN, Ala. -

“Art isn’t just a skill set,” Sarah Adkins, a third-year student at ACOM and organizer of the exhibit, said. “It is also a way of being introspective and thinking about ourselves, thinking about our role as clinicians.”Samira Srutman’s “Cry Like You Mean It” was a way to heal the internal struggle of not feeling like she was enough. The painting shows who appears to be a little girl crying over a pink and green backdrop.

These are a few works where the artist looked inward and reflected on self-healing. According to Adkins, being introspective helps build connections with others. Not only can art help doctors understand their own emotions, but it can be used to illustrate medical concepts.
