It teaches how to listen and what to listen for. While the skills developed are directly applicable to the practice of medicine, they are also important in any field in which human relationships are central: business, law, architecture, social work, and the creative arts. The practice of narrative medicine calls for a rigorous integration of intellect and emotion that helps to develop a heightened awareness of self and others. It is productive - in that its application in the "outside world" is continually called out. It is generative - by developing the capacity to articulate self-knowledge and consciousness of others, personal and professional relationships are changed and the desire in others for the same is catalyzed. Narrative Medicine utilizes both didactic and experiential methodology to build a practical set of narrative competencies and skills. Correlations are consistently made to the practice of medicine in an effort to connect the work of the class to their science-based studies and to their future careers. The mix of students-undergraduate premed and humanities majors-creates a rich variety of perspectives in the classroom that is often missing for students focused on purely scientific or humanities curriculums. Additionally, Narrative Medicine offers the intersection of many disciplines including literature, philosophy, ethics, psychology, creative writing, anthropology and the sciences. |
