View All News

Michael Vitez, Director of Narrative Medicine at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, offered insight to Reuters Health for an article about a New York City community health care center that encouraged young patients to respond to the prompt “How do you see yourself?” while in the waiting room. The exercise began as a narrative medicine project during the doctors’ time in medical school. The New York Times, Yahoo! News, MSN.com and additional media outlets picked up the Reuters Health piece.
