Programme

The Narrative and Medicine project seeks to explore the relationships between Medicine and the Humanities, in the context of the therapeutic relationships with the patients, through an interdisciplinary research group of scholars from the Centre of English Studies and the Centre of Philosophy of the University of Lisbon, the Centre of Cultural History of the New University of Lisbon and the Abel Salazar Institute of Biomedical Sciences. The 2011 Conference Programme aims to contribute to the training of health professionals and of researchers in the Humanities. Well-reputed specialists, responsible for the implementation of similar programmes in Europe and the United States, as well as pioneers in this area on a national level, will cooperate with the North-Lisbon Healthcare Centres. Its head office, at Sete-Rios Healthcare Centre, in Lisbon, will host the (open access) conferences, from March to December 2011.

Participants may acquire a briefcase containing related texts (15€), as well as a certificate of presence (5€ per session).
