Narrative Pre Health Journal
A Narrative Humanities Club centered on medicine, where we discuss a variety of medical topics and explore experiences of illness.
About
The Narrative Pre-Health Journal helps students understand the value that they bring to medicine through the Humanities. Observation, analysis, empathy, and reflection combined, act as powerful tools for how we process the human experience. Our club will expose students to different topics/perspectives in healthcare through a variety of mediums (writing, reading, video, etc.) where they will be able to engage with the material through group discussion and written reflection. Participants will produce writing that can be submitted for publication in our literary journal.
