How I got started in Narrative Medicine:
Jamie Shumway, who suffered from ALS, wrote a memoir, Off Belay: One Last Great Adventure. I worked with Jamie for ten months drafting it, and it led me to look into narrative medicine and led to other projects.
Funded projects: The Value of Expressive Writing on Quality of Life and Facilitating Advance Care Planning: A guided exercise for patients with cancer: A two-year pilot with generous funding from Benedum Foundation, WVCTSI, and other sources. I also did a pilot study working with patients with HIV.
