The mission of the Momentary is to champion contemporary art's role in everyday life and explore the unfolding story of contemporary American arts in an international context by actively commissioning and exhibiting outstanding works that explore new ideas and inspire action.
Position Summary:
Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and The Momentary (CBMO), in collaboration with the Alice Walton School of Medicine (AWSOM), seeks an innovative and collaborative Associate Director of Arts in Medicine to advance transformative arts-in-medicine initiatives. This pivotal role will support the integration of the arts into AWSOM's ARCHES curriculum, fostering a model where art enhances medical education to improve patient care and health outcomes. With a focus on harnessing the museum's unique qualities-art, architecture, and the natural landscape-the Associate Director will support curriculum development and experiences that enhance health, empathy, and well-being for medical students, patients, and the public.
The ARCHES curriculum is built on evidence-based approaches to teaching and learning. It includes the following six core elements:
Art of Healing: This curriculum component focuses on the human dimensions of care by merging the methodologies used in the humanities and arts with medicine.
Research: Students learn and complete the basic principles of research and evidence-based medical practice, including how to locate, analyze, synthesize, and apply medical literature effectively.
Clinical Education: This curricular thread focuses on providing longitudinal clinical skills training and early clinical experiences throughout the first two years of the curriculum. In year three, students complete a diverse array of clinical requirements, and in year four, students explore focused discipline-specific patient care.
Health Systems Sciences: Students are introduced to current health system structures, processes, and consequences, focusing on developing design skills to address them.
Embracing Whole Health: Students learn the fundamentals of whole person-centered care, which considers the physical, behavioral, spiritual, and socioeconomic aspects of a person's life experience.
Science of Medicine: Foundational sciences are featured and integrated into the curriculum in a horizontal and vertical pedagogical model. Students learn the core concepts of the foundational sciences of medicine and how they relate to normal and abnormal processes in the body in an organ-system approach.
Reporting Structure:
The Associate Director will support the arts integration initiatives at AWSOM while operating within a strategic framework overseen by the Chief Learning and Engagement Officer at CBMO. This position will report directly to the Director of Arts in Medicine and Wellbeing, who is part of the Learning and Engagement division at CBMO and leads the museum's broader arts and health initiatives.

Curriculum and Programming:

Collaboration:
Serve as the primary liaison between CBMO and AWSOM, ensuring seamless collaboration and alignment of goals.
Partner with museum teams to integrate exhibitions, collections, and gallery experiences into curriculum initiatives.
Support opportunities for AWSOM students and faculty to engage with museum-led community initiatives and resources.
