The purpose of the proposed activity is to explore topics of identity negotiation and passing while applying the skills of narrative medicine. This activity is part of a larger narrative medicine curriculum designed to help future physicians embrace a narrative approach to reduce social injustices and ultimately to improve their relationships with patients. The activity would be beneficial in health communication courses focusing on patient--provider communication, which address concepts such as illness narratives and empathy. Course: Health Communication (patient--provider communication). Objectives: Students explore topics of identity negotiation and passing in health care using the skills of narrative medicine.
