Dr Mariam Tokhi MBBS DRANZCOG MPH FRACGP CPA (Narr Med) leads the Narrative Medicine teaching of medical students in the Discovery programme at the University of Melbourne. She is a GP in community health and has spent the past decade working in, thinking and writing about community health. How do we provide good, accessible care for those who need it the most? How do we engage with the stories of our patients? How do we give clinicians skills in storytelling for advocacy, reflection, leadership and wellbeing? Mariam completed her Master of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, and gained certification in Narrative Medicine through a course at Columbia University. She often writes, reflects and advocates about primary care in the ‘deep end’, intersectional feminism and vulnerable communities. Mariam loves seeing medical students, health workers and educators ask creative questions, dream outside the traditional biomedical boxes, and engage with the beauty and challenges of caring, medicine, and life.
