NBM2430-W - Narrative-Based Medicine in Practice: A Primer with Allan Peterkin

Program Description

Allan Peterkin, a leading voice in the application of narrative-based medicine, will introduce simple, practical ways you can integrate narrative-based medicine into your daily clinical practice in this two-part primer.

Drawing upon his vast experience with therapeutic writing, bibliotherapy, and poetry prescriptions, Dr. Peterkin will demonstrate strategies that will help you master clinical communication and engage patients/clients in collaborative storytelling about their health concerns. You will also practice key narrative skills through reflective writing exercises and gain a deeper appreciation for how you can invite your patients/clients to write about their own illness experiences and health journeys.

With guidance, you will apply a narrative strategy in your own clinical practice in between sessions and further refine what works for you and your patients/clients. Ultimately, you will develop the skills and confidence to use narrative-based practices with patients, clients, and caregivers.

This workshop is geared towards health professionals interested in learning practical narrative strategies that can be applied in a busy day-to-day professional practice.
