Welcome to the Longview,

The Longview Journal is an annual student-run, peer-reviewed, inter-disciplinary, creative arts journal
focused on the humanities in healthcare. With this collection of creative works describing the unique
experiences of students and faculty, we hope to angle a creative lens towards contemporary healthcare.
The Longview was established in 2014 by a group of medical students at the University of Calgary. For
the first time, the journal welcomed submissions from outside the field of healthcare. Our aim is to
create and foster an interdisciplinary space where health and humanities come together, supported
and united.

Our mission is to see the journal grow, better encompassing the many viewpoints of the different
positions in healthcare.

I would like to thank our faculty mentor, Dr. Tom Rosenal, for his support of this project. I would also
like to thank the Longview editorial team for their dedication in promoting the Longview, reviewing the
submissions, and working to create the final project. Finally – thank you to everyone who submitted to
the journal and to everyone who supports health humanities.
I hope you enjoy reading and reflecting on these works.

Longview Editorial team, 2024/2025
