DAYS 1 & 2:
---------------------
NARRATIVE MEDICINE: A COLLOQIUM
---------------------
Friday, May 2 and Saturday, May 3, 2003

Columbia University
Kellogg Conference Center
International Affairs Building, 15th Floor
420 W. 118th Street
New York, NY

The care of the sick often unfolds without attention to narrative, yet
patients enact the urgency of telling of illness and the necessity of being
heard. Medicine is learning to develop the narrative competence to
recognize, absorb, interpret, and honor the narratives of patients and
their care-givers. Narrative medicine, or medicine practiced with narrative
competence, can understand the complexities of stories, their agents, and
their listeners, thereby growing in empathy, ethicality, and effectiveness.

The colloquium, Narrative Medicine, will convene practitioners of
literature and medicine with scholars of narratology, autobiographical
studies, and trauma studies to probe the consequences of adopting narrative
practices and literary training in health care. The more deeply we
understand how these approaches work, the more powerfully will we be able
to deploy them.

DAY 3:
---------------------
NARRATIVE COMPETENCE AS A CLINICAL SKILL
---------------------
Sunday, May 4th, 2003
Stony Brook Manhattan, 401 Park Avenue South, New York, New York

What is the role of narrative in health care? To what extent are health
care professionals trained in narrative competence, the ability to
recognize, understand, and treat narratives, and to make use of narrative
epistemologies (thinking or knowing with stories) in clinical practice and
other aspects of their professional work?

The workshop will bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars and
educators to explore the proposition that narrative competence is a skill
essential to clinical practice. Our work will have a double focus: the
theoretical and methodological aspects of the proposition, and its
application in the clinic and in the education of clinicians.

Participants are encouraged to come prepared to contribute to a
conversation that builds on the work presented by our keynote speakers,
Rita Charon and David Morris, and produces new frameworks for original
scholarly research. We will circulate a reading list of some of the major
published material in the area to registrants in advance of the symposium.

Apart from the two keynote addresses, one at the beginning of the day and
one after lunch, and a final report back / planning session, the symposium
will consist of small-group seminar-type sessions, organized by topic once
we have established the participants' particular interests and areas of
expertise.

PROGRAM

of Medicine, and the Continuing Education Program/ School of Nursing at
