The AMA Journal of Ethics partners with Art Institute of Chicago experts to feature innovative content at the intersection of art, ethics, and health care. This collaboration and the journal's internship program for students of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago further the journal's health professions educational mission by illuminating art's capacity to deepen ethical inquiry into clinical practice, public health, and health equity.
