Developed at Columbia University in 2000, narrative medicine isn't quite like any other discipline out there. On today's episode, I talk with Catherine Rogers and Ben Samuel, who both teach writing in the Program in Narrative Medicine at Columbia. We discuss what students learn in narrative medicine creative writing classes, how an education in narrative medicine can translate to medical settings, and how the program, with its students from many different backgrounds, is like a one-room schoolhouse.
