A growing body of literature supports narrative-based medicine as a tool to share experiences and express emotions. Join us for a two-hour session where we will introduce key concepts in narrative-based medicine, and experience writing prose or poetry.

​​

Please Note: This session is interactive and participants will be invited to do some writings and sharing. Open to practicing physicians in Canada (e.g., family physicians, specialists, etc.).​​

​

Learning Objectives​

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Apply narrative based medicine principles during a close reading exercise of prose or poetry

2. Experiment with reflective writing of prose or poetry based on a prompt

3. Share interpretations of writing as a tool for reflection and connection
