Body Language: Poems of the Medical Training Experience: Poems of the Medical Training Experience

by Stephanie Brown Clark (Editor), Neeta Jain (Editor), Dagan Coppock (Editor)

In Body Language physicians and medical students chronicle their challenging, often harrowing experiences. The anthology is broken into six Medical Student, First Year; Second Year; Clinical Years; Intern; Resident; and Attending. Other anthologies have featured poems about medicine and healthcare, but the approach of this collection―poems written by doctors-in-training proceeding step-by-step through the medical training experience―is unique in medical literature. By presenting physicians who are also skilled poets addressing a diverse range of medical situations, Body Language offers fascinating insights into the inner world of people who regularly face life-and-death decisions.

The book is divided into sections of poems written by medical students, interns, residents, and attendings. The topics are diverse, the writing powerful.
