OCOM 6051 - Osteopathic Narrative Medicine Elective 2: The Open Book Project
This second course in the elective series explores the art of Narrative Medicine (Charon, 2017) in small groups by examining a piece of narrative work (poem, painting, film clip, photo, short story) that relate to complex social issues in healthcare. The course builds upon the foundational narrative skills introduced in Narrative Medicine 1, deepening and expanding preclinical medical students’ narrative competencies of close reading, radical listening and expressing their own stories. Students will engage with new selections of art, poetry, prose, and other works. Students will participate in one session of Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) led by staff of the Kennedy Art Museum.
Credit Hours: 1
