Abstract
Arts medicine has evolved into a medical specialty primarily since the late 1970s and early 1980s. Arts medicine has exerted an impact not only through improvements in medical care but also by heightening awareness of health hazards in the arts and by improving artistic training and practice. Emergency physicians should be familiar with the state‐of‐the‐art and current standards of care in various disciplines of arts medicine. Such familiarity is important to help emergency physicians recognize the importance of complaints that might seem “minor” in the grand scheme of emergency medicine but that require prompt, accurate diagnosis and knowledgeable management in order to avoid preventable long‐term impairments and disabilities.
