This book contains poems and stories, written by Listener Poets from The Good Listening Project, for members of the KNN Learner Network. The Kern National Network for Flourishing in Medicine (KNN) is a national movement focused on integrating four foundational elements within the profession of medicine: character, caring, practical wisdom and flourishing. They advance this work by connecting and convening stakeholders across the health ecosystem, catalyzing transformative initiatives, and influencing policy and systems change.

Ranging from medical students to residents and fellows, the KNN Learner Network is composed of creators, innovators and change agents working to advance flourishing at the local level by integrating concepts from the KNN Framework for Flourishing.

Association of American Medical Colleges, 2021

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) leads and serves the academic medicine community to improve the health of people everywhere. In partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, Listener Poets from The Good Listening Project spoke with 252 of their constituents from all areas of medical education. This book contains the resulting poems and stories, written by our Listener Poets.

Topics on the minds of participants ranged widely in a time marked by a global pandemic, widespread demonstrations around racial equity, and the persistent dedication of healthcare workers. Listener Poets began each conversation by asking, “What should the poem be about?” Then, they listened.
