MacLean Symposium: Narrative Medicine

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.

Each of these affects how care in medicine and the health care system itself is directed and delivered.
