Sintesi: L’articolo propone un’analisi pedagogico-formativa della medicina narrativa, partendo dai contributi di Massimiliano Marinelli e Rita Charon. L’obiettivo è esaminare come la narrazione possa integrare il sapere medico con quello pedagogico, promuovendo una medicina di genere inclusiva. Attraverso il confronto teorico, si evidenzia come la medicina narrativa non sia solo uno strumento clinico, ma un percorso educativo che trasforma la relazione cura-paziente, valorizzando le differenze biologiche, socio-culturali e le storie di vita individuali per superare i limiti di un approccio puramente biomedico
Parole chiave: Medicina narrativa, Medicina di genere, Sapere pedagogico, Relazione di cura, Inclusione, Formazione sanitaria.
Abstract: The article proposes a pedagogical-formative analysis of narrative medicine, drawing on the contributions of Massimiliano Marinelli and Rita Charon. The aim is to examine how storytelling can integrate medical knowledge with pedagogical knowledge, promoting an inclusive gender-based medicine. Through a theoretical comparison, the study highlights how narrative medicine is not merely a clinical tool but an educational path that transforms the caregiver-patient relationship, valuing biological and socio-cultural differences as well as individual life stories to overcome the limitations of a purely biomedical approach
Keywords: Narrative medicine, Gender-based medicine, Pedagogical knowledge, Care relationship, Inclusion, Healthcare training.
