Abstract

Narrative medicine programs have become increasingly popular among physicians, aiming to teach doctors and other caregivers sensitive interviewing skills and the art of empathic listening and storytelling to improve patient care. An estimated 80% of medical schools in the United States teach some form of narrative medicine writing. To honor patients’ stories, however, it is necessary to break free of the tyranny of academic medicine writing and learn how to discover one’s true voice. By adopting new strategies and approaches, physicians can bridge the gap between academic writing and narrative medicine writing and discover a more enjoyable, expressive, and still professional way of writing.
