Abstract
With the increasing demands of the contemporary healthcare system, providers are spending less time engaged in direct patient care. This has been identified as a key factor in physician dissatisfaction and burn out. The Story Slam event aims to reconnect providers and trainees with their sense of meaning by focusing attention on their stories. Under the conceptual umbrella of "narrative medicine," there is growing recognition that the stories that run beneath the medical encounter can provide important insights and represent a pathway to greater well-being for providers.
