Explore and reflect critically on your identity, practices, challenges, personal and professional growth as health providers using narrative, storytelling and arts-based learning in order to improve clinical outcomes and to humanize your experiences within complex healthcare contexts. Themes related to the hidden curriculum, professionalism and relationship-centred care will be explored through visual, cinematic and literary texts including fiction, drama and poetry.
This intensive, interactive atelier applies narrative theory and reflective practice in interprofessional patient-centred healthcare, research and education. It aims to: enliven your engagement and collaboration as clinicians and educators from all disciplines; support best practices as teachers, clinicians and lifelong learners; transform the paradigm of your daily professional practice with a renewed commitment to the core values of humanistic healthcare
