Description

Medical science offers hard data while patients tell stories. Narrative-based medicine (NBM) unites the two. To explore this unique approach to improving patient care, Temerty Medicine (University of Toronto) instructor and novelist Damian Tarnopolsky joins poet and medical school graduate Sadiqa de Meijer for a compelling conversation about the value and use of clinical storytelling. Moderated by Lisa Tannock, Dean of Health Sciences at Queen’s University.
