OCOM 6052 - Narrative Medicine for Social Justice and Inclusion 3: Open Book Project
The Open Book Project (OBP3) elective course builds upon the skills introduced in OBP1 and OBP2 (prerequisites) while maintaining a focus on issues of social justice and inclusion in medicine. The Open Book Project elective (OBP3) expects students to apply and demonstrate narrative competencies and develop group leadership skills. During the OBP3 students have the opportunity to author and facilitate sessions that apply the principles of narrative medicine learned in OBP1 and OBP2 focused on issues of social justice and inclusion. This course draws upon content in the Chronic Illness course, asking them to apply a narrative lens and, in this way, augments the clinical content delivered during their second year curriculum. Students will participate in one session of Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) led by staff of the Kennedy Art Museum.
