Why do faculty choose to practice at IU School of Medicine? For many, it is commitment to teaching the next generation of physicians. For others, it is the calling to improve medical care through innovation, quality improvement and research. PACES provides guidance and resources for faculty who seek further development as skilled educators, innovators, and leaders in medicine.

Narrative Medicine Writing WorkshopsThe PACES Program is excited to offer Narrative Medicine Writing Workshops, geared toward helping faculty explore and develop their narrative writing skills. Narrative Medicine allows clinicians to strengthen their practice through self-awareness and exploration. By telling our stories and those of our patients, we hope to create a deeper understanding of our experiences and become better physicians.
