Wegner Winter Reading BINGO: Memoirs

Memoirs, sometimes considered narratives, help healthcare providers to gain a deeper understanding of the lived experiences and emotions that may have influenced a patient's health. Come to know patients as “humans with complex narratives, histories and identities” - James Kyung-Jin Lee,  Associate Professor of Asian American studies and director of University of California, Irvine's Center for Medical Humanities. 

Memoirs written by healthcare providers help peers to normalize thoughts, feelings and experiences of mental health concerns, grief, humor, and more.
