Mellon-Sawyer "Suffer Well" Master Class with Pauline Chen


 Center for Medical Humanities     Oct 17 2019 | 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM Humanities Gateway 1002



A respected surgeon and author of Final Exam, Pauline Chen puts her practice to print in her popular New York Times blog as she examines the relationship between doctor and patient. Chen's moving lectures, much like her book, convey a larger medical message by weaving together descriptive stories of her patients.

In the master class, Dr. Chen will discuss her own journey as a writer, including her creative process and her earliest experiences with writing. There will be an opportunity for questions, discussion, and, if time permits, writing.
