Stories are at the core of our training program. Listening to, attesting and validating the stories of individuals are things our clinicians do every day. Honoring and respecting each other as colleagues, patients, doctors and community members brings an unparalleled richness to our lives. Both differences and similarities remind us of the wonder of life and what it is to be human. Engaging with the story of our community and our own role within it helps us to reflect on life in the context of service to others. It allows us to celebrate our strengths, honor fortitude in the face of adversity, and recognize where there is still work to be done.
