Founded in 2008, the Pegasus Physician Writers at Stanford now have over 120 active members. Housed under the Medicine & The Muse Program of Medical Humanities at Stanford University, this organization, comprised of medical undergraduates, trainees and faculty, has expanded to include sustained writing critique groups, curated readings and symposiums, and ongoing educational seminars designed to promote the emergent creative writing endeavors of physicians. This presentation will describe the methodology, support, and resources utilized in sustaining this vibrant community of physician authors that include Drs. David Eagleman, Daniel Mason, Irv Yalom, and others in the areas of medical humanities, Narrative Medicine, and creative writing.
