Based on a successful collaboration between the Yale Center for British Art and Yale Medical School, Amy Herman developed The Art of Perception with the mission of making medical students better observers of their patients by teaching them how to look at art. Underlying her program was the rationale that a vital part of physicians’ diagnostic skill depends on an ability to observe and describe visual information and yet these skills are rarely taught. The Art of Perception has expanded to seven medical institutions, and Ms. Herman has adapted the program to train law enforcement professionals to help them not only solve crimes but also enhance their perception and communication skills. She has conducted professional training sessions for the New York City Police Department, the FBI, the Secret Service, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Justice, and for school nurses, guidance counselors, drug counselors, and social workers to enhance their observation skills when working with families and children.
