The HeARTbeat at Cornell is a student run healthcare publication that explores the intersection of medicine and art. Through creative work from students, faculty, and professionals, we highlight the interdisciplinary nature of healthcare and the human experiences that shape it.
Our mission is to transform thoughts, memories, and emotions into meaningful creative expressions that reflect the complexities of health and healing. We strive to bridge the gap between science and humanity by encouraging artistic exploration within medicine. Through writing, visual art, and other forms of expression, we foster empathy, reflection, and a deeper appreciation for the human side of healthcare. Ultimately, we aim to build a community that values both innovation and compassion in shaping the future of medicine.
We welcome a wide range of perspectives, from biological and anthropological insights to personal reflections expressed through a creative lens. At HeARTbeat, we believe that every experience with medicine, whether academic, clinical, or personal, has a story worth sharing, and we value all forms of artistic and written expression. You do not need prior experience in art or publishing to get involved, just curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to share your perspective. Whether you are an artist, writer, aspiring healthcare professional, or simply interested in the intersection of medicine and creativity, there is a place for you in HeARTbeat.
