The University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center Office of Continuing Education and the Permanente Journal, Kaiser Permanente present

The Ninth Annual

Taos Writing Retreat for
Health Professionals

 August 3-9, 2008

At the historic Mabel Dodge Luhan House in
Taos, New Mexico

 

Doctors, nurses, psychologists, physician assistants, ethicists, medical students, other health professionals...

Pursue your writing in an environment that provides maximum space for personal exploration and growth.  Bring along work-in-progress (scholarly and/or creative).  Experiment with new ways of writing – screenplays, novels, short stories, poems, personal accounts of difficult medical passages, ethical dilemmas, significant encounters with patients.  Or simply bring a desire to write.

Too often in hospitals and clinics, in busy professional lives, there is no time for reflection.  But here, left-out stories are told, shared, written.  The writers are relaxed and energized.  A synergy occurs, a mix of fellow writers, gorgeous surroundings, fabulous food, spontaneous encounters that add up to more than the sum of the parts.

CME credits (17 hours) available for physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners.
