Creative Arts Report
The Creative Arts Product
Students should contact their reviewer to schedule a time for the reviewer to see your creative arts product. You are welcome to invite additional audience members to the performance/display of your product, if appropriate.

Students may choose to write:
- a critical analysis of your topic
- a report that frames your project in its historical context
- a social/economic/political/cultural/religious analysis of your chosen topic area
- or some other intellectual context for the creative work that you carry out
The report should include the following sections:
Title Page, Abstract, Table of Contents, Glossary of Abbreviations
Introduction
Background including a statement of the scholarly project question, the rationale, and its significance as well as a review of the relevant literature that places your work in the context of the field.
Student Role
Methods
Creative arts projects will focus on how you created your work or the process you went through to achieve it.
Results (observations, data analysis)
The result is your product: collection of writing, a video, etc. You should describe your product. You will not need any other narrative for this section.
Discussion, Limitations, Conclusions, and Suggestions for Future Work.
As suggested above, you should reflect on the creative process or experience here. You should describe how your project furthers your own development as a physician, and how it may contribute to the development of other physicians (if physicians are the intended audience), the experience of health care or the perception of one’s body or health (if patients are the intended audience), or to the larger understanding of health or health care delivery (if society at large is the intended audience). You should also discuss how the product of your project may serve to inspire further work or projects by yourself or others.
