Two award-winning medical storytelling organizations, The Nocturnists and the Center for the Art of Medicine at the University of Minnesota (CFAM), team up to present Rebirth — and evening of storytelling by healthcare workers in Minneapolis on Earth Day (4/22/23).
The evening kicks off with a musical set by The Ari Nahum Trio, who will perform between storytelling sets throughout the night.
The Nocturnists is an award-winning, not-for-profit medical storytelling organization working to humanize healthcare, transform medical culture, and improve clinician wellbeing. UCSF internal medicine physician Emily Silverman founded The Nocturnists in 2016, as a way of cultivating creativity and community among her colleagues. What started as an intimate evening of storytelling among local physicians soon blossomed into a nationally recognized program, which has uplifted the voices of over 450 clinicians around the US and beyond through The Nocturnists’ sold-out live performances and acclaimed podcast, which has been downloaded over 1.5 million times by listeners around the world.
The Nocturnists is a nominee of the 2023 Ambie Award for Best Indie Podcast, winner of the 2023 Anthem Awards, winner of the 2022 Sharp Index Award for Media Leadership and Quill Podcast Award for Best Health Podcast, and honoree of the 2021 Webby Awards. Our work has been featured at SXSW, CBS This Morning, NPR’s Morning Edition, Snap Judgment, Pop-Up Magazine, the San Francisco Chronicle, among many other media outlets. In 2020, the US Library of Congress acquired the complete archives of our Stories from a Pandemic audio diary project for historic preservation. The Nocturnists podcast has been featured as an editor’s pick on Amazon, Stitcher, Podchaser, Podcast Brunch Club, PRX, and more.

The Center for the Art of Medicine (CFAM) is part of the University of Minnesota Medical School. CFAM is a consortium of medical humanities practitioners, led by physicians Ben Trappey, Maren Olson, Tseganesh Selameab, Anthony Williams and Jon Hallberg. CFAM sponsors a robust Storytelling in Medicine Program and also includes Hippocrates Cafe Productions, which creates the two-time Emmy-award winning public television series, Art+Medicine. The CFAM team is also engaged in research on the impact of the humanities in medicine.
CFAM’s work focuses on medical students, resident physicians, and practicing physicians and others in health care. CFAM strives to cultivate creativity and to elevate the role of the arts and humanities in medical education and practice, in order to nurture curiosity and creativity, promote diversity, deepen empathy, develop professionalism, and foster resilience in physicians and physicians-in-training.
