INT21708-W - Narrative-Based Medicine: An Introduction to Reading, Writing, and Reflecting in Clinical Practice and Self-Care

Program Description

Narrative-based medicine is premised on the understanding that, knowingly and unknowingly, practitioners and patients together construct narratives over the course of their encounters; that these stories - with their multiple characters, conflicts and desires, subtleties and miscommunications - affect the nature and meaning of health events in all our lives; and that getting better at working with stories of all kinds has a powerful impact on both patient care and physician fulfilment. 

Taught by an accomplished writer with long experience working with health professionals, this intensive program introduces the theory and practice of narrative-based medicine and seeks to improve learners’ creative and reflective skills as writers and readers. 

This program is Canada’s only virtual intensive certificate program in Narrative-Based Clinical Practice.
