ARS
MEDICA is a new biannual literary journal that explores the
interface between the arts and medicine, and examines what makes
medicine an art. ARS MEDICA allows a place for dialogue, meaning
making, and the representation of experiences of the body, health,
wellness, and encounters with the medical system. Content includes
narratives from patients and health care workers, medical history,
fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and visual art.
Since our inaugural edition in October 2004 ARS MEDICA
remains the only medical literary journal of its kind in Canada,
and one of only a handful of such journals in the world, in the
rapidly developing international field of the medical humanities.
|
ARS Medica
has joined with the American
Society for Bioethics + Humanities (ASBH) as a partner journal.
The purpose of ASBH is
to promote the exchange of ideas and foster multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary,
and interprofessional scholarship, research, teaching, policy development,
professional development, and collegiality among people engaged in
all of the endeavors related to clinical and academic bioethics and
the health-related humanities.

ARS
MEDICA strives to:
- be an internationally respected source for thoughtful and provocative
fiction, nonfiction and art that addresses the interconnections
between medicine, health, illness and the body, broadly defined
as the medical humanities.
- to appeal to a diverse literary audience, while also being relevant
to a wide range of professional readers
- to be used as a learning tool by students and their professors
in health care and academic humanities
- to provide a much needed forum for nonprofessional artists and
patients to express their experience of illness and recovery
- to humanize the face of healthcare in Canada and to be a voice
in the ongoing Canadian healthcare debate in Canada; and to enter
into an international dialogue around related topics
- to increase the international representation in the journal including
reportage and commentary
