Literature & Medicine Dinner and Discussion Series

"The LitMed program was a great way to engage your core as a physician and share it with your colleagues."
-Steve Asch, MD, Professor of Medicine


 The Stanford Literature & Medicine Dinner and Discussion series is designed to provide an opportunity for physicians to come together and share a meal while discussing works of literature. The program is designed to encourage the exploration of the challenges and rewards of being a doctor. Led by a skilled medical humanities facilitator, the Literature & Medicine series provides a supportive environment for candid and thoughtful discussion among physician colleagues.  In our 2015 pilot program, over 30 physician attendees were highly appreciative of the opportunity to interact with and learn from colleagues of different ages, backgrounds and specialties. Participant quotes included: “It’s gratifying to hear the perspective of doctors with training in other areas,” and ”the program was a great way to engage your core as a physician and share it with your colleagues.”

The program is supported by the WellMD office. Read more in SCOPE Blog about the Literature & Medicine Series.
