Editor's Notes
- Through experiences in writing, reading and listening to stories participants will learn about the power stories convey as well as “the danger of a single story”. Participants will develop a first-person narrative to consider dilemmas in health care. Discussion of media tools and resources for consideration with future projects.
- “ I was telling stories that were pertinent to people’s concerns about health care and that were, to some degree, a goad to those things in charge. First person narrative is an important art form in health care and a potential player in the making of policy.” The Power of the Personal Essay in Health Policy: Narrative Matters by Fitzhugh Mullan, MD and Ellen Ficklen. In medicine, narrative matters to understand context for the patient and the remedy clinical competence can be improved with a better sense of the story going on within you, the patient and the world you both encounter.
- Group of physician-authors also represent diversity in medicine. Collectively there is a balance of men and women, intergenerationality, and ethnicity. Authors actively practice all kinds of medicine and many serve in leadership roles. While some are fully-trained humanities scholars others have pushed their writing beyond the traditional walls of medicine. Many write blogs, write op-eds and have taken on health reform, residency work hours and other topics beyond the textbook. Popular medical topics today include pediatrics, emergency medicine, HIV/AIDS and now H1N1 narratives are emerging.

It may also be a patient you helped care for as part of a medical team. Write about the details of the event and how you felt about it.
