What is this thing exactly?
Talk Rx is a live storytelling series established in 2017 at Stanford University School of Medicine by then medical student, Pablo Romano, and Medicine and the Muse Writer-in-Residence and Director of Writing and Storytelling, Laurel Braitman PhD. Speakers tell stories live onstage about everything from coming out to conservative parents to #MeToo in medical training, living with traumatic brain injury and mental illness, to winning geography bees, overcoming homelessness, dating in medical school, the death of parents, domestic violence, and much, much more. It has been an important space for students to embrace and honor all parts of themselves, not just those dedicated to medical training.
We are inviting medical students, residents, and any clinical staff from any specialty to take part—as speakers and audience members. We are looking for stories that are brave, funny, mysterious, vulnerable, dark, uplifting or otherwise intriguing. Tales about what matters most to you and why. If you’re interested in being a speaker, submit a story here. Interested in attending? RSVP below and we’ll send you login details in advance.
