At its core, narrative medicine is medicine practiced with narrative competence, which is the learned ability to listen, absorb, and be moved to action and advocacy by stories of illness. Put simply, narrative medicine is clinical practice fortified by the knowledge of what to do with stories. Put another way, narrative medicine is an alternative medical approach to patient encounters that utilizes patients' narratives in clinical practice and education to promote healing. Come relax and practice your narrative medicine skills with us (food is always included!).
