We’re living through such unprecedentedly difficult times, and it is understandable to feel overwhelmed –with trepidation, grief, loneliness, exhaustion, and the muted desperation of having all sense of normalcy evaporate. We at Capillaries: The Journal of Narrative Medicine believe that writing and art has real power now, more than ever, to help us unpack our thoughts. Thus, we offer our journal to you, as a space to decompress and reflect on personal, community, national, and global issues.

Capillaries is a student-run project at the University of Washington. Since February 2018, our mission has been to provide the UW community (students, staff, and faculty) with the opportunity to reflect on experiences with medicine, healing, illness, and/or grief through prose, poetry, and artwork. Furthermore, Capillaries aims to support students and the community in their healthcare journeys and to promote greater understanding between the sciences and the humanities.

In our Spring 2020 issue, we want to encourage diverse perspectives and ideas from all members of the health sciences –reflections on being a student during this time, on caring for patients and one’s family, and on how this pandemic exposes the resilience, strength, and compassion of our society but also its flaws (e.g. discrimination/microaggressions, how people are profiteering off of this pandemic, inequities in access to healthcare resources and educational resources, etc).

~For previous editions of the journal (including a special-edition journal in collaboration with the Center for Health Sciences Interprofessional Education, Research, and Practice (CHSIE) and the Seattle-King County Clinic in Spring 2019) and submission guidelines, please see our website: https://www.capillariesjournal.com/

The Washington State Society for Clinical Social Work is accepting submissions for their annual student paper award. As many of you are writing your final papers for the quarter, this may be a good time to consider submitting something that you’ve written recently that you are proud of.
