“The Narrative Medicine workshop was the highlight of the seminar for me. I found great resonance in Dr. Vaughn’s discussion, which focused on the value of understanding and empathy in patient care.”

“The Narrative Medicine workshop emphasized the power of listening, empathy, and understanding the patient’s voice in their own care. It made me reflect on how much of medicine is not just about treating illness, but about truly hearing and honoring the lived experiences of those we care for.”
