The MS in Narrative Medicine at USC is still accepting applications for Fall 2023.
Narrative Medicine aims to put stories at the forefront of medicine.
The Narrative Medicine program at USC is highly interdisciplinary and teaches students to use tools from other disciplines (literary studies, creative writing, philosophy, anthropology, and sociology) as a means of strengthening and reshaping the ways institutions and individuals understand the relationship between clinical medicine, public health, and social justice.
Our outstanding faculty will mentor and challenge you as you prepare to apply what you learn in the classroom to experiences with our clinical and community partners. Not only will you complete a witnessing project in one of the clinical locations at Keck or with the chaplaincy program at Children’s Hospital LA, but you will develop interviewing techniques as part of our qualitative research methods course or in the narrative ethics elective. The skills you develop in these courses will help you facilitate narrative medicine workshops at our community sites.
In addition to these valuable in-person experiences, you will be invited to events offered by the Humanities, Ethics, Art, and Law (HEAL) Program at KSOM, including lectures and small group gatherings with best-selling authors, world-renowned physician-scholars, and community activists. Please see the HEAL website and the Visions and Voices website for descriptions of past and upcoming events. You will also have the option of taking elective courses from scholars in departments across USC, as we are committed to providing interdisciplinary training to our students that support their personal and professional goals.
For more information about our program, please join us for an online informational session and see the attached program and graduate brochures.
