Articles by Elisabeth Gerard

Elisabeth Gérard is a fourth-year medical student at SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn, New York. She has long loved reading and writing, whether in literature and creative writing courses, poetry workshops, or personal journaling. During the early years of medical school, she found herself distanced from that passion until an attending reminded her that presenting patients is a form of storytelling. That insight became a lifeline to narrative medicine, where she continues to explore the human side of clinical care.
