SUBMIT YOUR STORY IDEAS


Editor in Chief Corey Fogleman, MD, put out a call last year for narrative medicine articles. “Rereading and rewriting about what we encounter forces us to emphasize and economize, to pair some ideas and pare others,” he wrote. Your stories might address staff experiences, patient experiences, or anything else that might be educational for our readers. Or you might wish to consider one of the prompts suggested by Dr. Fogleman.
