A NEW SCIENTIFIC HUMANISM
Seven chapters on narrative medicine and precision medicine
Florence, February 18-19, 2016
Narrative medicine and precision medicine, two schools
of thought, two research laboratories, will meet at this scientific
event.
They are clinical and
research areas – one that capitalizes on the fundamental aspects of
human interaction, and the other that exploits innovative processes
of the biomedical sciences – that are both expressions of a person's
communicative profiles, whether narrative or omics-based.
These two paradigms of the
human sciences are similar toparallel rivers that flow with the same
energetic and motivational drive and converge in patient care according to a
holistic and unified vision.
The scientific and
professional community, often a prisoner of biologism and technicism, is called
upon to be emancipated and recognize itself in what society is imperatively
asking for: to be seen, listened to and cared for "with precision and with
compassion".
