This issue we are asking for submissions related to our theme of Movement.
Healthcare is rapidly evolving as advances in science and technology shape the new frontiers we are approaching. What does it mean to be a trainee learning within a field that is constantly being pushed and pulled in new directions? Do we travel parallel to these movements? Against them? Can we redirect them? As healthcare trainees, what role do we play in sparking new movements in medicine?
How do we, as individuals, change while navigating through the challenges that life and healthcare training present? Do we progress linearly, or do we forge circumferential paths for ourselves? Does that motion feel exhilarating or unsettling? We invite you to share your thoughts and reflections.
Submissions are open through Sunday, May 18th at 11:59PM EST.
Tell us your story! We welcome broad interpretations of our theme. We welcome reflective pieces, humor, fiction, creative nonfiction, video, art, photography, and expressions from all students and trainees in the healthcare fields on the humanity and inhumanity of medicine. We strongly welcome the voices of those who’ve taken unusual routes to medicine, those who are underrepresented in medical fields, our colleagues who identify as POC or members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and of course, we want to hear your story; whomever you may be.
