EP 12: Designing through Storytelling | Emily Silverman

Meet Emily Silverman. She’s an academic hospitalist in San Francisco and the founder of The Nocturnists, an independent medical storytelling community. Stories are her design medium. Emily has created a platform that invites healthcare workers to open up and share their stories, the good and the bad. She creates space for real talk, to bring taboos out into the open and transform the culture of medicine. Bon and Emily talk about tips to become better storytellers, fiercely protecting time for creativity, and challenging the status quo in healthcare to make room for humanity.
