Being and Becoming: Narrative Records of Pediatric Critical Care Clinicians.

Medical humanities initiatives have been integrated in our Pediatric Critical Care program to help clinicians make meaning of key experiences in their professional and personal journeys. In particular, narrative medicine and clinicians' writings illuminate and commemorate these journeys and increase our understanding of our profession in its full complexity. In this piece, we provide an example of a medical humanities curriculum and a selection of pieces written by several participants in it. These pieces form a collective narrative, portraying aspects of our individual and collective biography.
