Project Hx is a collection of narratives and photographs with a goal to highlight the rich diversity of the medical community. It is a portraiture of people’s stories and backgrounds, their experiences and adventures in healthcare, and ultimately a way to show a human side behind the oftentimes faceless nature of medicine. The people interviewed only portray a fraction of the unique attitudes and ideologies that represent the medical community, but we hope that it can serve as kindling for continued conversation. While reading the stories, please keep in mind that narratives are powerful only when they are genuine. They can be genuine only under the climate of acceptance and open-mindedness. Thus, we hope that each story is received free of judgment and prejudice.

Dear Readers,

Project Hx is a collection of narratives and photographs with a goal to highlight the rich diversity of the medical community. It is a portraiture of people’s stories and backgrounds, their experiences and adventures in healthcare, and ultimately a way to show a human side behind the oftentimes faceless nature of medicine.

Project Hx: Relationships

Fri, 26 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0000

This year’s Project Hx features stories surrounding relationships - how relationships with our families and loved ones have helped us through medicine, and the trials of those who find entering new relationships difficult given the constraints of medical school. We hope that, by highlighting these stories, readers will appreciate that medicine truly requires a community. As always, we are grateful for those who form our support system - we could not have done this without you. A special thank you to our faculty advisors Dr. Johanna Shapiro and Dr. Tan Nguyen – this journal would not have been possible without their continuous support and guidance. We hope you enjoy this year’s copy of Project Hx: Relationships.
