UBC Humanities in Healthcare
Narrative Medicine Case Competition
UBC Humanities for Healthcare is hosting a Narrative Medicine Case Competition on April 1st and 2nd at the UBC AMS Nest to explore collaborative approaches to healthcare.
A hypothetical patient story will be used to start a conversation on patient-centered care among prospective healthcare professionals. Groups of 3-4 students will tackle these issues and present their plan to address the patient's medical conditions, and the patient's goals, as well as comment on systemic barriers that could be addressed to assist in the patient's treatment. There will also be several workshops throughout the days to strengthen students’ skills and understanding of the health issue at hand. The goal is to provide an opportunity for students to navigate the multidimensional challenges in healthcare delivery, with guidance from mentors.
This event is open to undergraduate and graduate students from all faculties. Health professionals, patient advocates, and patients are needed to volunteer as mentors and judges.
The deadline to register is March 24th at 11:59pm.
Mentors will be key players in the competition by providing participants with real-world insight and guiding the team's thought processes. Time commitment: 3-5 hours total.
A panel of judges will evaluate the projects presented by the teams. Judges can be patients or health professionals and need to be available on Sunday, April 2nd, 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm.
