ABSTRACT

Based on the teaching and clinical practice in the field of palliative care in Peking Union Medical College Hospital, combined with the educational practice in Narrative Medicine, this paper presented the preliminary findings of continuous and in-depth interdisciplinary dialogue between palliative care, anthropology and narrative medicine. Specifically, medical education was placed at the core in the context of the development of the palliative medicine field; teaching was closely integrated with clinical practice and it was expected to realize the transformation of clinical practice; the application of narrative medical records indicated the unique value of narrative in palliative care practice, and the possible path of mutual interpretation between narrative medicine and palliative care.
