Call for Submissions

Lifelines invites submissions of original and unpublished short stories, poetry, artwork, and photographs. We are a literary journal committed to exploring the humanity of the doctor-patient relationship and to providing a creative outlet to Dartmouth medical students, health-care providers, and patients. DMS Alumni are especially invited to send submissisons.
