Lecture Topics
Danielle Ofri’s lectures can be adapted to general audiences or to medical audiences.
1. Medicine in Translation
How do physicians—as individuals—navigate the vast cultural permutations of their patients?
2. Tools of the Trade: Old and New Technologies in Medicine
How does technology—particularly computers and electronic medical records—impact the doctor-patient relationship?
3. Singular Intimacies: Literature as Bridge between Doctor and Patient
Why are literature and poetry so important in medicine? How do they impact the doctor-patient relationship?
4. The Good Doctor: Chekhov or Monday Night Football
How do physicians—especially residents in training—avoid becoming ungrounded and losing their sense of self?
5. For Whom do We Write?
What are the ethics of writing about patients, and why is there an epidemic of doctor-writers?
6. The Unexpected Career Path: How Doctors Become Writers
An examination of how and why medicine might lead to writing.
7. Medicine in Translation: a Cross-Cultural Journey with a Cancer Patient
Multicultural issues with a focus on oncology
