The college’s Group on Women in Medicine and Science will host “Poetry As Survival and a Vehicle for Compassion” by guest speaker Michele Bombardier, poet, writer and SLP.
Medical humanities is as hard to define as poetry itself. This talk will examine how poetry deepens empathy, meaning, and connection, especially for the clinician.
Michele Bombardier is the author of “What We Do,” a Washington Book Award finalist. She’s published in over sixty literary journals and is the founder of Fishplate Poetry, teaching workshops to raise money for humanitarian aid, specifically medical care for refugees in the Middle East and Northern Africa.
