Narrative Evidence Based Medicine

Following Rita Charon's work, I call to your attention two noteworthy articles:

Charon, Rita and Peter Wyer. The art of medicine: Narrative evidence based medicine. 2008 Lancet 371, January 26, 296-7

Goyal RK, Charon R, Lekas H, Fullilove MT, Devlin MJ, Diplnf LF, Wyer PC. 'A local habitation and a name': How narrative evidence-based medicine transforms the translational research paradigm. 2008 Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice 14:732-41.

At Columbia University, Charon and others comprise The Narrative Evidence Based Medicine Working Group
