Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to demonstrate a new publication type based on narratives and the backdrop for its development, as well as its importance in the context of both medical education and doctors’ formative process. First, the significance of narrative in human life and the development of narrative studies in the humanities will be discussed. A narrative character of the very profession of medicine will be emphasised as well. Finally, fragments of particular narrative-based publications will be presented, especially in the context of the subjective presentation of patient’s or doctor’s experience, which will be aimed at illustrating how this complement of the perspective may be used in medical education as well as in doctor’s professional development, e.g. through emphasising the importance of the patient’s role.
