This two part online workshop will explore day to day clinical work – including moments of transition, vulnerability, and connection – through narrative medicine. Drawing upon a growing body of poetic works on healthcare themes, this workshop explores poetry as an accessible vehicle for cultivating close attention, reflective skills, and creative self-expression, and offers new modes for appreciating the human dimensions of care.

This highly interactive workshop explores the intersection of poetry and medicine through hands on activities. Structured around close reading of sample poems, guided writing exercises, and group discussion, participants will learn how to engage with language in ways that deepen their understanding of both patient care and their own healthcare experiences.
