Creative Writing Award
Stories and poems are powerful ways of sharing the vision and depth of Family Medicine, its philosophy of care and scope of practice. We invite submissions of written materials that derive from the experience of teaching/learning or practicing Family Medicine. Faculty, clinicians and medical students in the northeast region of the US are eligible to participate. Stories, poems, and other forms of fiction or non-fiction writing are welcomed. A panel of reviewers composed of Family Medicine faculty and creative professionals experienced in manuscript evaluation will review each submission with an eye to its critical reflection, emotional honesty and technical merit. Submissions may be no longer than 1500 words. Pieces published or pending publication at a national level (magazines, journals, and books with a national circulation) prior to the award date are not eligible for this award. An author may submit a maximum of one poem and one prose piece. The best submissions are honored at the annual FMEC Northeast Region Meeting in its Awards Booklet. While submissions remain the property of the author, a submitter grants the FMEC unrestricted use of the material.
