Momentum – Plexus 2025 theme banner

 

Whether it’s the persistence of a heartbeat, the individual steps that accumulate into seismic shifts, or the tidal surge of collective efforts, momentum surrounds us! It’s the wave of progress, the rush of breakthroughs, and the everyday moments that coalesce into transformative change — the flows, eddies, and vectors that define our lives and serve as the undercurrents to our stories, waiting to be expressed and shared.

We invite you to explore the theme of Momentum — as a force that shapes our journeys in medicine, heralds change and promises a brighter future. What moves you? What is your way forward? What fans your spark into a roaring blaze? What forces fuel your progress? What moments energize your career in medicine? Bring us your dynamic reflections by submitting your works of art!"

Submissions are due by February 1, 2025

Medical humanities and arts have broadened my perspectives and insights into understanding and connecting with patients, it helps me appreciate the cultural, historical, and sociological factors that influence health and illness. Additionally, being immersed in the field continues to develop my communication skills as well as empathy. In my future career, I hope to build on these skills and create a trusting relationship with my patients, leading to better treatment outcomes. Lastly, engaging with the humanities and the arts has served as a source of stress relief from school, and provided me with an outlet for creativity and self-expression, preventing burnout and maintaining my mental well-being. -Celina Yang, GR1 (MSTP)
