Delphine Taylor and Nellie Hermann: Narrative Medicine

Atelier

Narrative medicine is a medical approach that emphasizes the importance of understanding and integrating patients’ narratives into their healthcare. In this episode, Delphine Taylor and Nellie Hermann discuss this innovative field at the intersection of humanities, the arts, clinical practice, and health care justice. They were at Reid Hall in Paris for a conference with French and European colleagues, and shared anecdotes with us about the cross-cultural application of this approach.

Atelier is produced by the Columbia Global Paris Center, a Columbia University initiative housed at Reid Hall.
