Bearing Witness
The lived experience of receiving, delivering, or witnessing care.
Call for Papers
Help shape our inaugural issue
Ethos EM invites submissions for its inaugural issue, bringing emergency medicine and the health humanities together through scholarship and stories.
We welcome original research, non-fiction, fiction, poetry, and visual arts that explore what it means to experience, deliver, or bear witness to acute, unscheduled care.
Four pillars, many perspectives
Contributions should engage with at least one of the journal’s four pillars:
The Architecture of Care
The inequities, structures, and systems that shape care.
The Identity Continuum
How professional identities form and evolve amid change.
Humanities in Practice
How the health humanities shape clinicians, education, and patient care.
