Perri Klaas, MD MS JAMA , the medical student section of the Journal of the American Medical Association , is pleased to announce an addition to its Web site. Outside the Wards , an expansion of the current Poetry Page, will showcase the creative writing talents of medical students. We invite medical students to submit poetry, fiction, and personal essays to be considered for online publication. The page will debut this June. Students should include their name, address, telephone number, medical school affiliation, year of training, and e-mail address with their submitted work.
Poetry offers great insight into the human condition.
With this in mind, MS JAMA , the medical student section of the Journal of the American Medical Association , welcomes poetry submissions from medical students on any topic, medically related or otherwise. Poems will be reviewed by the MS JAMA editors, and new selections will be published monthly on the Poetry Page of the MS JAMA Web site. In addition, the Poetry Page has traditionally published winning poems from the annual William Carlos Williams Poetry Competition for Medical Students sponsored by the Human Values in Medicine Program of the Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine. Students should provide their name, address, telephone number, medical school affiliation, year of training, and e-mail address with their submissions. All Rights Reserved.
