Pulse Announces a Writing Contest |
 The online medical writing journal, Pulse, is looking for your essays. Through the generosity of a grant from the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, Pulse is sponsoring a writing contest. To further our mutual goal of fostering diversity and inclusion in healthcare delivery, education and work environments, the theme of this contest is: On Being Different. The contest is open to everyone--to health and mental health professionals, to patients and caregivers and to students and trainees. The contest will be judged by Pulse's editors, with a first prize of $1,000 and awards totaling $2,000 to runner-up entries. Top entries will be offered the opportunity to be published in Pulse. The submission deadline is March 31. What does "being different" mean? It could mean:
Your story should reflect your experience of feeling different--and how that has impacted your physical or mental health, your medical care, your education or training, or your work as a health professional alone or as part of a team. Submissions must be true stories--your own experience or that of someone close to you--with a word limit of 1200 words. No fiction, please, and no poetry. Please see the Call for Entries for more details and to learn how to make a submission. Feel free to share this announcement with friends, family, colleagues and students. Please contact Pulse if you have questions. We look forward to reading your submissions! |
