In this episode of Urban Service Talks, we delve into the rich and often overlooked world of narrative medicine—an approach that emphasizes the power of storytelling in clinical practice. . By focusing on the stories of both patients and providers, narrative medicine offers a pathway to more empathetic, human-centered care. Join UConn Medical student Sahal Nasim, and Dental students Karina Patel, and Wendy Zhan as they speak with Dr. Adam Perrin, an Associate Professor of Family Medicine and Director of Student Wellness at the UConn School of Medicine, to see how narrative medicine can strengthen the provider-patient relationship, promote reflection, and enhance the way care is delivered. Together, we’ll explore how this growing field invites healthcare professionals to slow down, listen more deeply, and connect more meaningfully with those they serve.
