Narrative Approaches to Resilience in Practice: Tools and Techniques for Well-Being
Oct. 23 - Dec. 4, 2025Increasing numbers of healthcare practitioners and learners feel stretched thin. Narrative-based medicine can provide an accessible antidote to clinician stress as it promotes self-awareness, connection, and meaning-making.
Drawing upon current literature about stress and well-being in healthcare, as well as writing by clinician-authors (memoirs, poems, and personal essays), we will reflect on critical themes in professional practice.
Participants will enhance their skills of close reading, listening, and reflection during this highly interactive series that blends short, didactic presentations with hands-on activities, group discussion, and prompted writing exercises. Together, we’ll explore narrative approaches and resources for well-being through discussion, text reading, and reflective writing.
There will be ample opportunity to discuss ideas in a supportive and collegial environment, including the application of practices to professional and educational contexts. The instructor will offer optional resources for further exploration. There are no required readings or assignments.

Foundational Certificate in Narrative-Based Medicine 2025-2026
Oct. 28, 2025 - Jun. 2, 2026Narrative-based medicine is premised on the understanding that, knowingly and unknowingly, practitioners and patients together construct narratives over the course of their encounters; that these stories – with their multiple characters, conflicts and desires, subtleties and miscommunications – affect the nature and meaning of health events in all our lives; and that getting better at working with stories of all kinds has a powerful impact on both patient care and clinician fulfillment.
Jointly led by an expert in narrative-based medicine and an accomplished writer, both of whom have extensive experience working with health professionals, this intensive program is taught in two parts: NBM Principles and Practices focuses on the theory and practice of narrative-based medicine while Writing and Narrative Craft seeks to improve learners’ creative and reflective skills as writers and readers.
The program is Canada’s only virtual intensive certificate program in narrative-based clinical practice. Domestic and international learners across all disciplines are welcome.
