Join us in exploring how narrative deepens both the physician-patient bond as well as actualizes the practice of virtues in the medical context. The lecture will be centered on how narrative can be a means for personal growth and perspective-taking, and how the narratives of patients form us as clinicians, in an ongoing way. 

The lecture will be given by Dr. John Y. Rhee, MD MPH, who is a board-certified neurologist, neuro-oncologist, and palliative care specialist at Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Instructor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School (HMS), where he takes care of patients with brain cancer and their palliative care needs and runs a supportive care research program for brain tumor patients. He was formerly Chief Resident of Neurology at Mass General Brigham and received his MD/MPH with Distinctions in Medical Education, Research, and Global Health from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where he was a Dean's Scholar in Global Health. He graduated with a BS in Policy Analysis with Honors and Distinction from Cornell University.  He is a Young Member of the Pontifical Academy of Life, Vatican City, and is Director and Founder of the Piermont Residence in Cambridge, a young professional and graduate student residence dedicated to forming young men in human virtues and the interior life. Dr. Rhee co-founded the Hippocratic Society and is its Vice Chair and Executive Director.
