Dear Colleague, We are delighted that you have chosen to participate in the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine, accredited, Narrative Healthcare Atelier and Certificate Program for inter-professional faculty, staff, residents, learners and clinical supervisors. This program features presentations by internationally renown narrative medicine scholars and interactive workshops using a variety of media that foster reflection on healthcare challenges and therapeutic opportunities as revealed with a narrative lens. This atelier promises to inspire, generate exciting discourse and highlight the humanizing aspects of healthcare in complex work settings. Making use of metaphors, images, and stories, working in the immediacy of therapeutic and collegial relationships, narrative healthcare supports the development of clinicians in training and in practice, and the outcomes of the patients to whom we provide care. Themes related to the hidden curriculum, professionalism, reflective practices and relationship-centred care will be explored through visual, cinematic and literary texts. This 4-day atelier and certificate program aims to: enliven your engagement and collaboration as clinicians and educators from all disciplines; transform the paradigm of your daily professional practice; facilitate employing narrative practices to creatively champion patient-centred care; enhance reflective practice in inter-professional clinical and/or teaching settings; and renew your commitment to the core values of humanistic healthcare The superb keynote speakers include: Dr Allan Peterkin, head of the University of Toronto, Faculty of Medicine Health Arts Humanities Program, and Dr. Miriam Shuchman, award winning medical ethicist and journalist; with a very full program with inspiring faculty that promises to creatively inspire and catalyze your development, and your work!
