A Night of Storytelling

Stories are fundamental to what it means to be human and to be human in medicine. Stories help us understand our patients, find community amongst our peers, and make sense of the challenges and joys of being in medicine. A few weeks ago, the power of stories was put on display at the Night of Storytelling, a live storytelling event organized by the Gold Humanism Honor Society at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.  At this event, we heard compelling stories from six speakers: Dr. Robert Golden, Ben Kannenberg (M4), Ali La Jeunesse (M1), Hasan Nadeem (M4), Olivia Rater (M4), and Dr. Jason Stephenson. We are excited to have hosted this event (our first live event!) and to be able to share it with all of you in this episode. We hope you enjoy!
