Abstract

Introduction: This past week I had a writing session with the students in my Structural Inequity, Advocacy, and Justice Pathway in the medical school. I asked the students for some short writing -- 6-word stories, haiku, 55-word stories, and poetry. I share some of them below. I also share with you some of their sentiments about having time to reflect and write. "I used to write much more often (prior to med school), so I really enjoyed this session" (Matthew Hudson UMass Chan '26) - "This session reminded me why I chose an English major during college!" (Elizabeth Waltman UMass Chan '26) - "Thank you for the opportunity to reflect creatively about meaningful medical experiences. I wrote these haikus about some experiences I had in LPP and hospital sessions and wanted to share them with you. The last one I wrote about my grandmother who has since passed from a late detection of cancer she had been complaining about for a while before being diagnosed*. Thanks again, this session really helped me today. I had no idea how nice it would be to take a break from being strictly clinical." (Liana Brooks UMass Chan '26)
