Ad Anima 2024
The Inaugural Edition
Ad Anima, a literary medical journal featuring creative non-fiction pieces from healthcare workers and trainees across the country, embarks on its maiden voyage at a unique time in medical history.
In the shadow of a global pandemic, medicine welcomes distance in a manner and to a degree that it never has before. From routine healthcare visits conducted with miles between patients to online lectures leaving classrooms empty and beyond, space is an evolving aspect of our work and lives. We founded Ad Anima because we wanted to explore the spaces we don’t always get to see ourselves. We wanted to give healthcare practitioners and trainees the opportunity to tell the stories that aren’t always told. We wanted to listen, and we weren’t disappointed.
Stay tuned for updates on how to contribute to the second issue of Ad Anima, UCI School of Medicine's Literary Journal for Health Professionals.
