Narrative Medicine: Writing Prescriptions for Integrated Cancer Care

Narrative medicine emphasizes the storied understandings (stories) that patients, providers and caregivers both bring to and are created by the illness experience.

Join Dr. Paula Holmes-Rodman, an ethnographer, caregiver, writer and advocate as she explores the fundamentals and uses of narrative medicine for integrated cancer care. Learn how attention to our storied selves can lead to more inclusive and accessible person-centred care, as well as serve to honour our creative and emotive experiences of cancer.

Presenter: Paula Holmes-Rodman, PhD, Ethnographer and Writer
