Narrative Medicine is an academic discipline intended to increase physicians’ capacity to understand and respond to their patients’ experience of illness. The practice of Narrative Medicine develops narrative competence, “the ability to acknowledge, absorb, interpret and act on stories” Students will participate in narrative medicine workshops with two creative works with common themes of life transitions. Exploring their own and others’ responses will increase awareness of the ways that stories can provide a way to bear witness to and validate individual and collective experiences and respond with creativity and self-awareness (Loy & Kowalsky 2024).
Objectives Participants will:
- Engage in a reflective writing exercise and discussion of responses ,.
- Identify ways that stories can enhance understanding of others and of oneself
- Reflect on the experience of beginning college inspired by a close reading and discussion of a passage from Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar, and a painting by Matthew Wong.
Target audience: Students considering a career in healthcare, interested in creative expression, desiring to learn about transition to adulthood, or curious about narrative work.
