Every interaction between practitioner and patient is an opportunity to improve care. Crafting a narrative can help you to understand and interpret these interactions. Narrative-based medicine offers reading and writing techniques that will allow you to develop deeper insight and understanding of your practice and your patients. Through reflecting on these interactions, you can more effectively address patients’ needs and concerns and increase personal fulfillment.
