Finding Health & Illness NarrativesA key approach in Health Humanities is analyzing non-fiction narratives of illness and disease in literature, popular media, and film. Finding examples of these narratives and scholarship about them can be challenging.
Patient Health ResourcesPatients are now asked to make decisions about their own disease process. Most patients do not have the tools to make these kinds of decisions. Shared decision making between patients and their health care providers is important to both.
Publish Your Work: Medical NarrativesMedical narrative writing is the reflective writing of both physicians and patients about their experiences in medicine and clinical care. Recently, medical narrative writing has begun to be integrated into medical education in order to further instill an awareness of students’ -- and their patients’ -- emotions, to develop critical thinking, and to examine the medical profession and their place within it from different perspectives.
