Virtual Narrative Workshop
Alternating Wednesdays throughout the summer, from 5-6 pm: Register once and drop in as often as you can!
August 5 and 19
September 2
Would you like to join in conversation with your BUSM/BMC colleagues and explore in writing some of your recent experiences? Paired with close reading of poetry, which invites introspection and sharpens attention to language, reflective writing offers the opportunity to excavate your own experience and bring the abstract into form on the page.
The BUSM CME office and Sarah Wingerter, MD, Director of the BUMC Narrative Writing Program, are offering a Virtual Narrative Workshop on alternating Wednesdays, from 5-6 PM, for clinicians of all programs. We will share stories, read poetry, and do some free-writing. No prior experience with writing or poetry needed. No prep needed--just have a pen and paper handy.
Register here:
