Beyond the Country Doctor Anthology
Details:
http://www.mnartist
Published by Kent State University Press and Hiram College Center for
Literature, Medicine and Biomedical Humanities
It is more than Marcus Welby or the country doctor taking care of the
farmers/ranchers. Today a diverse group of clinicians, have added cell phones
and
PDAs to their black bags and minister to a multi-colored patchwork quilt of
patients.
We want to show the breadth of rural medicine in the United States today. We
are looking for poems, essays, and short stories (fiction and creative
nonfiction, max 5000 words) written by health professionals (doctors, nurses,
midwives, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, social workers, mental
health
providers and students of all of the above) that address the following:
--Who we are (exploring diverse providers)
--Who we serve (exploring the variety of patients)
--Where we are (sense of place)
--The resources we have and the challenges we face (i.e. tele-medicine,
electronic health record, part of larger health systems, limited services,
insurance, etc.)
We are not able to pay for your contributions. The book will be published in
Fall, 2009. We are willing to consider already published work as long as we
can secure permission to reprint it from the original publisher. Work should not
include the identifying information of patients unless permission is granted.
Authors with contributions published in the collection will receive a free
copy of the anthology.
