Description
Summary:This paper describes a pilot study of a new model for narrative medicine training, “community-based participatory narrative medicine” (CBPNM), which centers on shared narrative work between healthcare trainees and patients. Nine medical students and eight patients participated in one of two, five-week-long pilot workshop series. A case study of participants’ experiences of the workshop series identified three major themes: (1) the reciprocal and collaborative nature of participants’ relationships; (2) the interplay between self-reflection and receiving feedback from others; and (3) the clinical and pedagogical implications of the CBPNM model. Principles and proposed outcomes of the CBPNM model are presented.
