About Us
The Appendix is an online digital publication dedicated to showcasing humanities and creative work from students at the Carver College of Medicine. Our mission is to curate art that emerges from both ordinary and extraordinary experiences, celebrating the “art of the everyday” through creative writing, poetry, illustration, graphic design, satire, photography, reflection, opinion, and forms of expression that have yet to be defined.
Rooted in collaboration, curiosity, and multimodal creativity, The Appendix serves as a space for students to explore the human side of medicine and share the experiences that shape them both inside and outside the clinic. We believe that anyone who writes is a writer, and anyone who creates is an artist. There is no such thing as “bad” art. Did you have an exceptional (or terrible) experience in the cardiology clinic? Have an interesting conversation with a stranger at the bus stop? Eat an unusually good orange? We want to hear about it. We want to see it.
We welcome creative and reflective work in all mediums from students across the Carver College of Medicine community. Whether you are an experienced creator or simply curious about exploring the humanities, we enthusiastically invite you to share your work and connect with us!
