Narrative Medicine Logo
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.



   

 

Master of Science in Narrative Medicine

Columbia University launched a new Master of Science in Narrative Medicine in fall of 2009. 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.
