Answer 2

Founder of narrative medicine, Rita Charon, M.D., Ph.D
Narrative medicine is a new approach to optimizing communication between physician and patient, between all health care providers and patients, and between providers in health care teams. Dr. Rita Charon, MD, Ph.D. of Columbia developed the concept of narrative medicine as she grew increasingly aware that the most important diagnostic and therapeutic tool that physicians have available to them is the patient case history. She became interested in the patient story as a narrative and, in the process of pursuing narrative theory, acquired a Ph.D. in English from Columbia. She then began to develop a curriculum that introduces medical students to narrative theory and the importance of patient narratives
