News in brief OU-HCOM launches online literature and arts journal School’s new Humanism in Medicine club provides an outlet to share the creative side of medicine. Sept. 28, 2016Wednesday The DO Staff Contact The DO Staff Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email Carrying on the osteopathic medical profession’s tradition of taking a whole-person approach to medicine, the new Humanism in Medicine club at the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine in Athens, Ohio, seeks opportunities to explore the human side of medicine. Recently the group published the first issue of its online literature and arts journal, ARTery. The biannual journal features poems, essays and other creative works by students and faculty from all three of the university’s campuses as a way of integrating art and medicine. The journal enabled Zak Kelm, OMS III, to share his poem “Pure Wisdom” with others. Kelm penned the piece after a memorable interaction with a patient during clinical training. “I was feeling sort of creative right after the experience, and it just kind of happened,” he said in an OU-HCOM statement. The Humanism in Medicine club was launched last year in conjunction with the new Heritage College Chapter of the Gold Humanism Honor Society. The society recognizes senior medical students who demonstrate excellence in humanistic patient care. In addition to the literary journal, the club also performs random acts of kindness and hosts a book club.
