Welcome to The Longview Journal
The Longview is a literary journal whose mission is to angle a creative lens towards healthcare, and canvas how the students navigating through it perceive the complex nature of modern medicine.
Through expression in all forms of the creative arts, we hope to create a space that narrates the weird and wonderful journeys we take with our patients and provide a forum for students that is at once educational, enlightening and healing.
The Longview stitches together the interdisciplinary perspectives of the healthcare team aiming to foster a better understanding of each unique role, and of the clinical encounter itself – utilizing the tools of reflection, imagination and empathy with the patient at the core of the student’s impressions and abstractions. The result may be analytical, abstract, harsh, humorous, chaotic, despairing or fantastical – with each one portraying a candid perspective of the adventure of medical training.
