BLR Art in Medicine
Over the course of 2026, a cohort of trainees will meet monthly online, guided by BLR leaders, to explore creative expression, narrative medicine, and community-building. Session topics include: “Clinical Creativity: The Intersection of Art and Medicine,” “Verse by Verse: Navigating Uncertainty Through Poetry,” and “The Art of Grief.” We’ll engage in mixed methods including group and peer discussions, personal writing, and creative exercises. No artistic experience needed — just curiosity and an open mind!
Application deadline: December 3, 2025, 5:00 p.m. ET
