Use of well-established research and practice in medical anthropology, the broader medical humanities, and cutting-edge clinical scholarship to help students gain narrative competency. Students will learn why narrative and meaning are critical to healing, how to become aware of patient narratives, and how to practice attention to the stories of others.
