Ars Medica https://ars-medica.ca/index.php/journal <p><em>Ars Medica</em>&nbsp;is a biannual literary journal, started in 2004, that explores the interface between the arts and healing, and examines what makes medicine an art. <em>Ars Medica</em> remains one of a handful of medical literary journals in Canada and worldwide, in the rapidly developing international field of the humanities in healthcare.</p> <p><em>Ars Medica</em>&nbsp;allows a place for dialogue, meaning-making, and the representation of experiences of the body, health, wellness, and encounters with the medical system. Content includes narratives from patients and health care workers, medical history, fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and visual art. We also include sections on writing by and about children, and writing about international health. These are voices that are often silenced in healthcare.</p> en-US David.Mastey@camh.ca (Ars Medica Editorial Board) managing_editor@ars-medica.ca (Marilyn Bittman) Mon, 15 Jan 2024 10:07:26 -0800 OJS 3.3.0.13 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 60 Hospital Fugue https://ars-medica.ca/index.php/journal/article/view/2361 <p>Music is everywhere around us, waiting for us to notice.
