NBM2210-C - Foundation in Narrative-Based Medicine

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.

Jointly led by an expert in narrative-based medicine and an accomplished writer, both of whom have extensive 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.
