The Portrts That Speak: My Journey Pnting Honor Wall Portrts of Women Physicians
Abstract
delves into the historical and contemporary context surrounding honor wall portrts at medical schools, examining their implications for today's students and the pipeline for academic medicine. We highlight how modern artists have leveraged art as a catalyst for advocacy. The author shares her empowering and intimate journey while identifying, connecting with, and pnting portrts of prominent alumnae of color from her medical school. This initiative effectively spotlighted the often-overlooked achievements of these women physicians and combatted visual disparity on campus.
The piece discusses common barriers faced by portrt subjects and their transformative validation offered to the author, a woman of color herself. Artistic decisions made during pnting serve as reflections of the intersections between race, ger, profession, and history. These oil portrts not only capture the subjects' likeness but also deepen the connection with her community of mentors.
By pnting these portrts, the author was able to envision a more inclusive community in medicine, strengthen her commitment to diversity and inclusion, and bolster her career aspirations. The portrts will now hang in Harvard Medical School's student center, serving as an uring reminder for future trnees especially women and people of color that they are integral parts of medical history.
