Narrative Medicine Summer School
The Narrative Medicine Summer School is offered by the Project in Medical Humanities at the School of Arts and Humanities – University of Lisbon/University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies, being an educational and university extension activity. It aims to promote an encounter between nationally and internationally renowned experts, students and professionals in areas such as healthcare, humanities, and social sciences who are interested in this emerging interdisciplinary field. Its main goal is to maximize the potential offered by the humanities, namely by literary methodologies and devices, in humanizing the relationship between care providers and patients, fostering self-knowledge and other-awareness and seeking an overall improvement in healthcare.
