Narrative medicine is a medical approach that emphasizes the importance of understanding and integrating patients' narratives into their healthcare. In this episode, Delphine Taylor and Nellie Hermann discuss this innovative field at the intersection of humanities, the arts, clinical practice, and health care justice. They were at Reid Hall in Paris for a conference with French and European colleagues, and shared anecdotes with us about the cross-cultural application of this approach.
Dr. Delphine Taylor, M.D., is Associate Professor of Medicine at the Columbia University Medical Center and practices at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia University Irving Medical Center.
Nellie Hermann is Creative Director of the Program in Narrative Medicine at Columbia University. She has published two novels, The Cure for Grief and The Season of Migration.
