Narrative medicine invites clinicians into a simple yet profound practice: listening differently. Kristen Copeland, MD, Professor of Pediatrics, Cincinnati Children’s Medical Center, Nimisha Bajaj, MD, Palliative Care Specialist, Children’s National Hospital, and Anoushka Sinha, MD, Adolescent Medicine Specialist, UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals, explore how storytelling, reflective writing, close listening and the humanities can deepen understanding of children and families navigating illness, trauma, grief and uncertainty. Grounded in the pioneering work of Dr. Rita Charon and the narrative medicine program at Columbia University, the conversation highlights how these practices can strengthen trust, cultivate empathy and bring greater humanity into pediatric care.Watch the episode on YouTube.Featuring: Kristen Copeland, MD, Professor of Pediatrics, Cincinnati Children’s Medical CenterNimisha Bajaj, MD, Palliative Care Specialist, Children’s National HospitalAnoushka Sinha, MD, Adolescent Medicine Specialist, UCSF Benioff Children’s HospitalsHost/Producer: Carol VassarViews expressed by guests do not necessarily reflect the views of the host or management.
