An Arts-Based Workshop Using Scalp Tattoos to Connect Students with Cancer Patients' Experiences of Chemotherapy and Hair Loss.

Problem: Students eager to enter the medical field must develop perspective-taking skills that enhance their ability to connect with patients. Toward this goal, the authors developed a pilot workshop for undergraduate students that included an art activity during which they collaborated to design scalp tattoos to symbolize cancer patients' experiences with chemotherapy and hair loss.

Approach: A 90-minute, arts-based workshop was held in April 2019.
