From Medical Knowledge to Pedagogical Knowledge: Narrative Medicine as a Pathway Toward an Inclusive Gender-Based Medicine

Abstract

The article proposes a pedagogical-formative analysis of narrative medicine, drawing on the contributions of Massimiliano Marinelli and Rita Charon. The aim is to examine how storytelling can integrate medical knowledge with pedagogical knowledge, promoting an inclusive gender-based medicine. Through a theoretical comparison, the study highlights how narrative medicine is not merely a clinical tool but an educational path that transforms the caregiver-patient relationship, valuing biological and socio-cultural differences as well as individual life stories to overcome the limitations of a purely biomedical approach
