Stories infuse the practice of medicine - but what can clinicians do with those stories? How do we process them? Where do we put them? And, in the face of such stories - of pain, heartbreak, joy - how do we sustain authentic engagement with patients, colleagues, and ourselves over the long term? Narrative Medicine holds that by reflecting on such stories, clinicians can develop the narrative competence to recognize, absorb, metabolize, interpret, and be moved by these stories in a way that can enhance clinical relationships, foster engagement with patients, and support self-care. In this series of six weekly workshops we will:
* Consider the ways in which stories infuse the practice of medicine;
* Explore the received assumptions that inform the clinician-patient relationship and the practice of medicine;
* Enjoy an opportunity to write and reflect with colleagues about experiences of giving and receiving care.
This workshop will be facilitated by master's students from the Program in Narrative Medicine.
