Grab your lunch and join us via Zoom for the next installment of our Spiritual Integration Hour series!
On April 29 at noon, Dr. Jeffrey Gang from the School of Religion will present "'Pieces of Myself': The Pedagogical Power of a Narrative Medicine Assignment."
This presentation examines how a first-person illness narrative assignment in a religion course on spiritual care enhances students' grasp of patient care, promoting increased self-awareness, empathy, and the development of their professional identities. We will explore the crucial role of narrative medicine in cultivating compassionate, patient-focused healthcare professionals.
The Spiritual Integration Hour's intended audience is the Loma Linda University community of behavioral health clinicians and scholars, and is broadly centered on the integration of faith/religion/spirituality and the social sciences. It is a mix of presentation and discussion, and is sponsored by the School of Behavioral Health.
