Submissions for The Human Touch

“The Human Touch 2010″ is UC Denver Anschutz Medical Campus’ literary and arts anthology.

Writings and artworks foster an understanding of cultural and social contexts of the individual experience of illness and the way medicine is practiced. Authors and editors include students, faculty, staff and patients. It is produced by the Medical Humanities Program (H. N. Claman, MD, director) of the Center for Bioethics and Humanities.
