Mission Statement:
Narrative Medicine fortifies clinical practice with the narrative competence to recognize, absorb, metabolize, interpret, and be moved by the stories of illness. Through narrative training, the Program in Narrative Medicine helps doctors, nurses, social workers, and therapists to improve the effectiveness of care by developing the capacity for attention, reflection, representation, and affiliation with patients and colleagues. Our research and outreach missions are conceptualizing, evaluating, and spear-heading these ideas and practices nationally and internationally.
Graduate Program in Narrative Medicine
Proud to be the first degree program of its kind, this important educational advance improves the quality of patient care and contributes to the healing of our ailing health care system itself. The program was named #1 of the "New Master's of the Universe" by the New York Times.
Go to www.ce.columbia.edu/narrativemedicine to learn more about the Master of Science program, courses, faculty, and admissions.

Narrative Medicine Rounds
Fred Hersch,
Jazz Pianist and Composer
“HIV/AIDS and Coma: Survival and Recovery”
A Talk and Performance
As a solo pianist, composer, bandleader, and theatrical conceptualist, Fred Hersch lives up to the praise of the New York Times , who, in a featured Sunday Magazine piece, aptly declared him, “singular among the trailblazers of their art, a largely unsung innovator of this borderless, individualistic jazz – a jazz for the 21st century.” He has been nominated for two 2012 Grammy Awards for his solo CD Alone at the Vanguard. With three-dozen recordings as a leader/co-leader, and numerous awards and grants including a 2003 Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship, and three previous Grammy® nominations, Hersch is among the most admired of contemporary jazz musicians, having collaborated with an astonishing rage of instrumentalists and vocalists throughout worlds of jazz, classical, and Broadway. He is on the Jazz Studies Faculty of The New England Conservatory. Hersch has had HIV/AIDS for more than 25 years and survived a 2-month coma in the summer of 2008.
