Narrative 4 Story Exchange for First Year Medical Students
To support the NYU Grossman Medical School and the Center for Empathy in Medicine at the Institute for Innovations in Medical Education by supporting the development and implementation of innovative curriculum, including the Narrative 4 Story Exchange, enhancing and supporting empathy throughout the healthcare system and especially in undergraduate and graduate medical education.
This first year medical students used the Story Exchange as an essential part of their early medical journey, building connection and empathy among the cohort.
Thank you (N4) from the bottom of our hearts for being our essential partner, helping to explore, innovate, and practice empathy. We look forward to continued collaboration as we think deeply about how to see one another, practice self-awareness, adapt, teach, and learn.
