We are excited to announce that we will hold our May Narrative Medicine rounds with Liana Finck live via Zoom, hosted by Benjamin Schwartz!
For our May Narrative Medicine Rounds we are delighted to welcome cartoonist Liana Finck. Her work appears regularly in the New Yorker and on her Instagram feed; her most recent publications include a graphic novel entitled Passing for Human, and the cartoon collection Excuse Me: Cartoons, Complaints and Notes to Self. Finck is a recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship, a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship, and a Six Points Fellowship for Emerging Jewish Artists. She has had artist residencies with the MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, and Tablet magazine. Her first book, A Bintel Brief, was published in 2014.
Benjamin Schwartz, BA, MD, Columbia University, who will introduce Liana Finck and moderate our first virtual Narrative Medicine Rounds, is an assistant professor of medicine (in surgery) at Columbia University Medical Center, where he teaches narrative medicine and visual storytelling to medical students as well as provides creative direction and strategy for patient-centered communications efforts. Dr. Schwartz is also a staff cartoonist for The New Yorker, where he sneaks his children’s names into each of his cartoons.
Narrative Medicine Rounds are monthly rounds on the first Wednesday of the month during the academic year hosted by the Division of Narrative Medicine in the Department of Medical Humanities and Ethics at Columbia University Irving Medical Center.
