Stories have always been central to my life and my way of processing the world around me and exploring patients’ stories is the most compelling part of my work as a physician. But sharing stories of the great joys and deep challenges of being a physician with learners and colleagues has been equally critical to my work and well-being.  I have the great pleasure and privilege to support storytelling in medicine as the faculty advisor to the UWSMPH student narrative medicine podcast What Brings You in Today and the student-run medical writing journal The Script as well as one of the editors of the SMPH Quarterly Alumni magazine’s Healer’s Journey feature.  I am an avid “reader” of audiobooks during my commute and an extreme devotee of The Nocturnists podcast, the best place I have found to hear medical stories that celebrate our humanity.
