Call for Submissions from Medical Professionals and Patients: Grey Matter

Grey Matter (GM), the medical poetry journal of the Narrative Medicine program at the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix, believes that poetry is a portal for introspection and reflection, one that connects us more deeply and empathetically to the human experience. In other words, GM is an exemplary application of the Medical Humanities, a discipline that resides at the crossroads of healthcare and human care.

Every issue of GM strives to represent voices across the healthcare spectrum, from providers to patients, with a focus on equity, inclusion, and the celebration of our unique medical narratives.
