MacLean Symposium: Narrative Medicine
April 11, 2024: Addressing the Crisis in Access and Equity in Health Care in the United States: How the Stories We Tell Matter. Narrative medicine is a way of thinking about how medical care is shaped by our stories – not only the themes and content of these stories, but their structure, delivery, and influence. Basic questions like “who tells the story?”, “who’s the audience?”, and “what’s the genre of the story?” can tell us a lot about the narrative and what impact it may have. Narrative Medicine pays attention to structure, imagery, tone, character types, genre, story logic, and narrators. Each of these affects how care in medicine and the health care system itself is directed and delivered. View the six presentations from the symposium below. The event was generously supported by The D.J. MacLean Endowment for English.
