THE FUTURE OF ARTS IN HEALTHCARE Alie Wickham became involved with the arts in healthcare field during
her summer 2008 internship with the Shands Arts in Medicine program and
the Center for the Arts in Healthcare Research and Education (CAHRE)
at the University of Florida. Following her internship, during her final
year at Hampshire College, she initiated two arts in healthcare programs
in two health facilities and focused her undergraduate thesis on the
interactions between hospital patients and artists in residence. After
graduating from Hampshire with a BA and an emphasis on biomedicine and
dance education, she moved to Gainesville, Florida, where she currently
serves as Program Assistant for Shands and Certificate Program Coordinator
for CAHRE. Alie is also an active member of the Membership, Awards,
and Building Task Force committees for the Society for the Arts in Healthcare
and was featured in the Society’s first Student Quarterly View
in fall 2009. |
