INTRODUCTION: Experiences in our country regarding Narrative Medicine (NM) as a curricular activity are still quite scarce. While we do have over a decade of background in activities tangentially related to educational institutions, these have not been considered curricular, nor even elective, during the formative stage of medical training. In Tucumán, Argentina, for our part, we began two years ago to offer extracurricular workshops at the Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad Nacional de Tucumán (UNT). These efforts led to the creation of the subject "Narrative Medicine" at Universidad San Pablo T, offered to first and third-year students as an integral part of the curriculum.
