A recipient of the McGovern Award from the American Medical Writers Association for “preeminent contributions to medical communication” and a TED talk speaker and Moth Story Hour contributor, Dr. Danielle Ofri is a pro at creating a bridge between doctors and the general public. Indeed, she wrote the book on it, with What Patients Say, What Doctors Hear. Her latest publication, When We Do Harm: A Doctor Confronts Medical Error, continues that trend, pairing lively interviews and profoundly human stories with the latest research. Medical science has made enormous strides in decreasing mortality and suffering, but there’s no doubt that treatment can also cause harm. Danielle Ofri places the issues of medical error and patient safety front and center in our national healthcare conversation.

This event is part of Creative Nonfiction's Science As Story series, which invites acclaimed long-form science writers to discuss the challenges of bridging the gap between research and storytelling to bring stories that matter to a wider audience.
