My curiosity has always driven my decisions, which explains my very sinuous path. However, without it, I would never have taken the route of a bachelor’s degree in sociology where my interest in humans and their environment crystallized. Parallel to my academic path, my journey into the health care system brought into existence several other considerations.
That’s when I became interested in narrative medicine in universities around the world. I would be lying if I said I didn’t like reading and the humanities myself, but learning about a narrative approach to medicine has helped to bring these major interests together. I strongly believe in the strength of interdisciplinarity in the humanities and social sciences and I wish to demonstrate this in my own research.
That’s why my research examines communication training for future physicians, particularly students at the Université de Montréal, to understand. Using a qualitative methodology, I look at the experience of different actors in the Faculty of Medicine to draw a portrait of teaching and learning communication in medical pedagogy.
