The Art of Internal Medicine: Residency Program Event Showcases Doctors’ Talents

Two people hold up a large framed artwork featuring a pattern of abstract faces in black line art. In the background, others are gathered in a room. Next to this scene is a table set with an assortment of food, including cheeses, crackers, fruit, and pastries, displayed beneath a bright red neon sign that reads ‘WSU Internal Medicine.’

Members of the Internal Medicine Residency–Everett community gathered on Feb. 4 for an “Arts in Medicine” event to celebrate resident, faculty, and staff passions and hobbies outside the hospital.

The afternoon included a talent show, arts and crafts table, and a silent auction to support a resident well-being event fund. On display were handmade artwork, jewelry, poetry, mad libs, martial arts, singing, guitar, and magic.
