Visual art has been increasingly incorporated into medical education and has been shown to enhance important competencies, such as empathy. However, limited evidence on effective visual art program design and evaluation processes remain. This systematic review examines the format, content, and espoused outcomes of visual art-based training programs in undergraduate medical education. A comprehensive literature search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ProQuestERIC on undergraduate medical education and visual arts retrieved 1703 articles published from 2014 to 2020. After reviewing inclusion and exclusion criteria, 23 articles were chosen for full review and synthesis. Program format and content varied, ranging from 1-day specific competency focused programs to well-structured comprehensive 6–12-week programs. 6 areas of program foci were identified: observation skills, empathy, tolerance to uncertainty, cultural sensitivity, team building and collaboration, and wellness and resiliency. Although several programs used validated measures to assess skills acquisition, they seldom addressed long-term outcomes. Our findings indicate that visual art-based education hold a promise to enhance important competencies in medical education, particularly empathy. Clinical observation, in particular, had the strongest evidence of its effectiveness compared to the other competencies. Future programs incorporating visual arts will benefit from a longitudinal (greater than 6   weeks) program which incorporates guided artworks, reflection exercises, and a group discussion to provide a stronger foundation for the development of core competencies. We propose using validated scales to measure outcomes in future studies and follow-up with participants to better assess Kirkpatrick Level 3 and 4 outcomes.
