Narrative Risks in Clinical Medicine: Why Healthcare Providers Should Think Like Creative Writers
In this talk, I'll discuss high risk narrative challenges and how creative writing skills and fundamental principles of story structure have served as necessary clinical skills in my work as an emergency physician. We must be story experts because the best medicine won't work on the wrong story. And yet, our susceptibility to story can lead to poor outcomes. I'll assert why medicine (and medical education) needs to recognize the creative dimensions of medical decision making.

Bioethics Incarnate
This presentation will concern the manner in which the body is becoming
a central aspect of bioethics discourse. Two movements within bioethics
will be examined. The first will be the manner in which bioethicists
have begun to draw upon their personal illness experiences as a source
for new insights into ethical issues. The second will be the way in
which illness communities have developed theoretical positions that call
for new ways of thinking about bioethics issues.

Preserving Relationships: Using Storytelling as a Strengths-Based Approach for Families Living with a Dementia Diagnosis
Lauren Dowden, MSW, LSW, from the Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer’s Disease Center at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and co-creator of Don’t Look Away, a storytelling workshop for families living with a dementia diagnosis, will offer a background history of the storytelling workshop and the preliminary research findings. Ms. Dowden will then introduce a couple whose life has been impacted by Alzheimer's disease. The couple will share with you, in their words, their co-created story about their lives together including the time leading up to the diagnosis to today. There will be time afterwards for Q & A.
