Don’t Forget the MacLean Symposium: Narrative Medicine this Thursday

Just 48 Hours Left Until the MacLean Symposium!

Join us this Thursday, Apr. 11 in Celeste Theatre from 1:30-5:30 p.m. for the MacLean Symposium: Narrative Medicine. There are three sessions available: two keynote speakers and a panel. The keynote speakers’ books will be available for purchase and both speakers will be available to sign books. Light refreshments will be served in between sessions. Please note: parking for this event may be limited.


What is Narrative Medicine?

Narrative Medicine is a way of thinking about how medical care is shaped by our stories – not only the themes and content of these stories, but their structure, delivery, and influence. Basic questions like “who tells the story?”, “who’s the audience?”, and “what’s the genre of the story?” can tell us a lot about the narrative and what impact it may have.

Narrative Medicine pays attention to structure, imagery, tone, character types, genre, story logic, and narrators. Each of these affects how care in medicine and the health care system itself is directed and delivered. 

Learn more about the speakers and view the entire afternoon’s schedule on the MacLean Symposium website

The event is generously supported by The D.J. MacLean Endowment for English.
