For many years she has worked with medical students in the 'Art of Observation' class at the Frick Collection. We met when she came up to Columbia University Medical Center to join Dr. Rita Charon, director of the Program in Narrative Medicine. I had been actively working there forming "Wilma's Clinic" where artists work with children bringing the healing powers of art into the hospital environment.

Under Dr. Charon, Edie began the Arts-In-Medicine Project at Columbia, which highlights the use of visual arts in medical education. This has expanded to classes at the Frick Collection, the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Medical students are given the opportunity to engage in drawing classes, and to work in the clinics with artists and children in the program of Wilma's Studio."

]]> Conducted by the Foundation for the History of Women in Medicine, the Louise Schnaufer Oral History Project pays tribute to a pioneering pediatric surgeon whose career spans the latter half of the Twentieth Century. In a field dominated by men, and at a time when surgeons were only beginning to awaken to the needs for a specialty in pediatric surgery, Dr. Louise Schnaufer opened the eyes and hearts of the international medical community to the necessities of compassion in the healing processes, and she did so without compromising her skills as a scientist, as a surgeon, as a teacher, or as a friend. Because of her age and infirmity, Dr. Schnaufer was unable to be interviewed. Instead, twelve of her mentors, associates, and students were interviewed extensively, reflecting on a range of themes in their interactions with her as a professional, in her social life, with her personality, spirituality, and in her surgical specialty.

The oral history of Dr. Louise Schnaufer, founding Trustee of FHWIM, and beloved pediatric surgeon at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, is also archived at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia and was made possible with funding provided by Drs. John R. Templeton, Jar and Josephine Templeton.
