Good day. I hope you and your family are all safe and well. Here's an open invitation to all the TCU - stakeholders to submit entries of poems, essays, creative fiction/non-fiction stories, and/or artwork.

On Literature & Medicine...

"The body is a living story…[A] witness of our mortality, the physician can read with scientific precision and humanistic compassion… The writer-doctor possesses the power of language to transform that pain into something bearable, into something enduring..."

"The Medical Humanities is an emerging field that focuses on the interdisciplinary—navigating the lines that intersect healing as a science and an art, and the healers who combat disease and decipher the meaning of life and death." - Ronald Baytan, Ph.D

Let us framed the resiliency and synergy between literature and elixir for writing amidst/against the [pandemic] public health crisis and economic turbulence.
