Students are expected to prepare a reflective analysis (5 doubled-spaced pages) of a published patient \u201cpathography.\u201d A patient pathography (as used here) is a first-person, published memoir focused on an illness, medical condition, or disability.<\/p>\n
When analyzing your pathography, please address the following questions in your reflections.<\/p>\n
Please refer to the applicable literature and concepts from the course and peer-reviewed literature to support your conclusions.<\/p>\n
You may choose a book that is not from this list. The list is to give you a sense of the range available to you. However, I have deliberately chosen not to include on this list examples from people who are healthcare providers. If you choose a book not from this list, please choose one from someone who is not a professional clinician.<\/p>\n
