About this event
In a healthcare environment punctuated by a lack of patient trust, increased burdens on providers, and the unprecedented incorporation of technology into care delivery, we are called to attend to the ethical questions that arise in stories in the patient-provider relationship. While considering current tensions and values present in the delivery of care, we will explore ways in which listening to the stories of patients and healthcare professionals (narrative practice) can improve care for patients, restore the humanity of providers, and empower both to advocate for change. Through hands-on skill-building, we will dive deeply into the power of sharing and understanding narratives to build trust and empathy, enhance effective patient care, better support vulnerable patients, and mitigate burnout in healthcare professionals.
