“…OT education aims to develop professional skills and a professional identity in students by building the kind of knowledge typically characterized by a combination of theory and practice, technical and social, factual and personal, and artistry and science (Crepeau et al, 2008;Powers Dirette, 2016). As professional education programs are becoming more and more academic (Heggen, 2008), there is a growing concern in Scandinavia about the challenge of enabling and encouraging students' development of the personal and social aspects of their professional identities.…”

“…The therapist also has to integrate his or her own expertise with the client's values and available resources when making decisions (Bannigan & Moores, 2009;Powers Dirette, 2016) Clinical reasoning is an established concept describing the professional knowledge of an OT practitioner. Mattingly and Fleming (1994) describe clinical reasoning as an approach that involves several forms of thinking and ways of perceiving.…”

Stories are powerful aids to reflection. Thus, the use of stories may be a pathway to enhanced reflective practice and clinical reasoning skills. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether and how digital storytelling can contribute to occupational therapy (OT) students' learning through reflections on experiences from placement education. A cohort of OT students (n = 57) participated in a 2-day workshop to create digital stories. Data were generated through a questionnaire with a response rate of 100% of students who completed the workshop (n = 34). Quantitative analysis methods were used to reveal a level of agreement in the questionnaire statements, and qualitative content analysis was performed for the open-ended questions.The results show that the students learned through reflection on placement experiences in the digital storytelling process as they emphasized reflection as a main outcome. They highlighted the importance of sharing thoughts and reflections with peers. The students confirmed that this happens through the creative process and the use of multimodality in poetic reflection, but they were less convinced by the use of the narrative approach as a dramatic structure. The students experienced reflection and sharing as important elements in the digital storytelling process. However, investigations are needed into the use of a narrative approach to enhance reflection with larger cohorts as well as more thematic analyses.

“…Similarly, occupational therapists in clinical practice have experienced conflict in the delivery of services, being pulled between science-based models and the art of practice, where science could be considered tangible proof and art reflects the symbolism and people's perception and meaning of this (Kielhofner, 2009;Turpin, 2007). It has been argued that in order to deliver optimal care to people, the blending of "art and science" is required and involves integrating scientific evidence and EBP with the human variability that is inherent in individuals (Kielhofner, 2009;Powers-Dirette, 2016;Turpin, 2007).…”

From art to science: a new epistemological status for medicine? On expectations regarding personalized medicine

Personalized medicine plays an important role in the development of current medicine. Among the numerous statements regarding the future of personalized medicine, some can be found that accord medicine a new scientific status. Medicine will be transformed from an art to a science due to personalized medicine. This prognosis is supported by references to models of historical developments. The article examines what is meant by this prognosis, what consequences it entails, and how feasible it is. It refers to the long tradition of epistemological thinking in medicine and the use of historical models for the development of medicine. The possible answers to the question "art or science" are systematized with respect to the core question about the relationship between knowledge and action. The prediction for medicine to develop from an 'empirical healing art' to a 'rational, molecular science' is nonsensical from an epistemological point of view. The historical models employed to substantiate the development of personalized medicine are questionable.
