Event description
Hosted by the Center for Community and Global Health, and developed with support from the Mellon Foundation, community partner Northwest Narrative Medicine Collaborative (NWNMC) brings Narrative Medicine Skills Training to Lewis & Clark campus.
Northwest Narrative Medicine Collaborative (NWNMC) gathers health care professionals, patients, caregivers, students, academics, and artists in the shared practice of narrative medicine.
Narrative Medicine Skills Training introduces the narrative medicine principles of attention, representation, and affiliation and develops participant skills of listening and witnessing. We will reflect on how listening and witnessing can be applied to stories of health, illness and healing in diverse healthcare settings to improve care and support healing.
Registration is OPEN for Narrative Medicine Skills Training, Saturday Feb. 21 2026!

Who is Training for?
- Students entering, studying, or considering the health professions

In-person and interactive, this workshop encourages exploration, curiosity, and discussion in large and small groups, pairs, and mixed cohorts of students, healthcare professionals, and community members interested in the practice of narrative medicine. There will be opportunities to listen, read, write reflectively, and time to share writing if participants choose.
Adequate breaks and restoration periods are included, as is lunch!
