Research interests
Narrative medicine, an emerging field at the intersection of literature and medicine, is based on the premise that the academic study of narratives, both literary and personal, will help healthcare workers hone their listening and observation skills, stimulate their empathic abilities, foster enduring critical and creative self-reflective practices. Megan has built a narrative medicine program at the University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU) that has become a hub for innovative research, teaching, and collaboration.
