Dear poet-physicians and physician-poets!
The American Osler Society is collecting medical trainee poetry for a collection. If you have a poem written while a medical student, resident, or fellow, that you would like considered this publication, please send to: AOSPOETRY@gmail.com with "POETRY SUBMISSION" in the Subject line.
If you know of a medical trainee who writes poetry, please share this invitation with them!
Both in the body of the email and as an attached pdf, please include:
- author's name
- email address
- academic institution
- what year of training the poem was written in
- If the poem has been published previously
- If the poem's been published, please provide its citation and proof you have rights to submit for further publication
- The poem itself as you would like it to appear
Poems need not be directly related to medicine or training to be considered, but as it is intended for a medical trainee audience, poems should attempt to teach or to move their reader towards virtues and humanism. If you further questions, please email AOSPoetry@gmail.com
Submissions are due by December 31st. Notification about accepting or declining the piece for publication will be in Spring of 2024
Thank you,
