Abstract：The ability to engage in close reading within narrative medicine stands as one of the core competencies for healthcare professionals to cultivate medical humanistic care.Centered on the"Three-stage Method of Close Reading Instruction",this paper examines its practical pathways and value in workshops dedicated to advancing narrative medicine close reading skills.Through a tripartite instructional framework—comprising theoretical instruction in close reading,literary text analysis,and clinical case study—the workshop guides healthcare professionals to explore multidimensional interpretations of literary texts and clinical case.By mastering close reading techniques,participants enhance their capacity for empathic reflection and clinical problem-solving.Leveraging group discussions,peer learning,and participatory teaching methodologies,the workshop effectively activates participants'tacit experiential knowledge,bridging the gap between theory and practice.Simultaneously,through localized"great texts"as pedagogical tools,it deepens participants'understanding of traditional Chinese medical contexts.This model demonstrates the critical role of narrative medicine close reading in improving clinical communication and decision-making,while offering a replicable pedagogical framework for advancing medical humanities education.
