Reminder: MedMoth is back! Once again students, residents, and faculty will share their stories virtually THIS WEEK – THURSDAY OCTOBER 1 at 7:00 p.m. EDT. This is always a hit! I am sure there will be COVID stories. Come listen in on Zoom.

Lucy Candib of Family Medicine talks about her work with asylum-seeking patients. It is fascinating. Have a listen – details below.

This narrative medicine podcast explores how health providers and trainees think about their experiences in medicine. Not about how they make diagnoses, but how they relate to their patients and what makes them tick. Each episode interviews someone from UMass Medical School who has written a poem or essay to learn about them and their reflection. We hope this podcast inspires others to become more reflective practitioners as well. Reach us at murmursumassmed@gmail.com.

There is an upcoming Med Moth event on Tuesday, May 7 from 5:30-7:00 p.m. in the Albert Sherman Center multi-purpose room (across from the cafeteria).

Please come for an evening of stories, reflection and refreshments. Take a step back and remember why it is you decided to pursue a career within the greater medical community. Speakers will include faculty and students across SOM, GSBS, and GSN.
