What does it feel like to experience, deliver, or witness acute, unscheduled care?
How do inequities, structural barriers, or systemic failures shape unscheduled care?
How is professional identity forged, and how must it transform amid rapid change?
How can the health humanities shape clinicians across training—and influence patient outcomes?
We welcome empirical research, non-fiction, fiction, poetry, and visual work that explores the world of acute, unscheduled care.
