Narrative Medicine Internship: Chronic Pain Project Spring ’26

The Chronic Pain Project is a small, local nonprofit organization created to make chronic pain visible through art and artwork. The chronic pain experience is captured both verbally and/or visually through sculpture, collage or any preferred visual medium. Global participants meet in regular remote art-making sessions and submit work and interviews about their experience of pain and making artwork.

Participants in the Chronic Pain Project can come from anywhere in the world. They submit pre-existing pieces of artwork or make a special piece for exhibition with CPP. Once the piece is created, the artist is interviewed remotely. These interviews are then available on the YouTube channel and by QR code at the exhibit itself so that viewers can not only see the art, but hear directly from the artist about their experience and why they created the piece.

Spring ’26 narrative medicine student intern will be reviewing, editing, cutting and compiling short artist statements from these interviews, of which CPP has 50+ hours of existing video. Intern will work from a template that has already been developed.
