Medical and nursing students are invited to enter The Hope Babette Tang Humanism in Healthcare Essay Contest and engage in a reflective writing exercise around an experience of humanistic care.
This year’s essay prompt is an excerpt from "How Far Away We Are," a poem by U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón:
"I want to give you something, or I want to take something from you. But I want to feel the exchange, the warm hand on the shoulder, the song coming out and the ear holding onto it.”
Six winners (three medical students and three nursing students) will receive a monetary award ($1,000 for first place, $500 for second place, and $250 for third place). Their essays will be published in Academic Medicine, the journal of the Association of American Medical Colleges, and The Journal of Professional Nursing, of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing.
Deadline: March 13, 11:59 p.m. PT
