Humanitas: A Medical Humanities Journal is an online publication specializing in Medical Humanities and other forms of engagement with literature, critical theory, the arts, and history. We feature creative non-fiction, poetry, short stories, original artwork, and critical essays that address the interdisciplinary side of medicine and humanistic care.

At this time, submissions are open to anyone and everyone.  Although not all pieces may be accepted in their original form, we are committed to offering support for revision until they are publication-ready.  

This journal will be juried by the Physician Communication Team. We will feature up to two poems, photographs, or pieces of art from any one given person per month. Prose pieces and essays should be between 500-2000 words.  All citations should be in Chicago Style.  Audio recordings or video recordings of performances should be properly edited for clarity, flow, and lower-order issues like background noise, etc. Performance coaching is available by request.
