I am a pediatrician, published author, speaker, and narrative medicine facilitator. My essays have been published in the Washington Post, the New York Times, JAMA, Poets & Writers, and many other venues. I am the writer-in-residence at a large urban family medicine residency program where I lead doctors in narrative medicine workshops. In my newest book, A Prescription for Burnout: Restorative Writing for Healthcare Professionals from Johns Hopkins University Press, I advocate for a narrative approach to physician burnout as a way to rediscover the meaning in our work and relocate the joy in our jobs.
