Dr. Carolyn Roy-Bornstein is a board-certified pediatrician and the Writer-in-Residence at the Lawrence Family Medicine Residency program where she leads narrative medicine sessions with the residents to help them process their journeys as physicians, reconnect with their deepest values, and strengthen relationships with their patients and each other. She is also the author of A Prescription for Burnout: Restorative Writing for Healthcare Professionals from Johns Hopkins University Press and a contributing author to Narrative Medicine: A Guidebook to Transforming Hearts and Minds from Routledge Press.
