Columbia Narrative Medicine

Powerful op-ed by Dr. Jonathan Slater in the New York Daily News exploring what it will take to restore medical trust in America. Jon is a member of our new Co...lumbia Narrative Medicine Journalism Workshop. The first week of COVID shots, we did a three-hour vax op-ed slam to see what 12 docs would come up with. (The group mostly works on longer reported pieces.) This is the second of those op-eds to be published. Mazel tov to Jon, and the workshop group!

"At 22, Gorman will be the youngest inaugural poet ever in the United States. 'Now more than ever, the United States needs an inaugural poem,' Gorman said. 'Poetry is typically the touchstone that we go back to when we have to remind ourselves of the history that we stand on, and the future that we stand for.'" https://www.nytimes.com//amanda-gorman-inauguration-hill-w
