Based on the growing research about the role of arts and storytelling in addressing social isolation, we created the Draw YOUR Story program to foster connections between students and older adults. The goal is that medical learners will dismantle negative stereotypes associated with aging and apply their experiences to older adults they encounter in health care, and older adults will develop social connections and lessen feelings of isolation. We aim to evaluate the impact of the program on both groups.
