“Something special happens when you work in the field. It speaks to you. It calls on the bounty of your generosity. It coaxes you to the precipice of your creativity, and it demands that you become sharper, savvier, and more self-possessed. If you listen, then in return you find it affords you the greatest gift life can offer: the privilege of having touched someone’s heart. Working with my patients touched mine too. As time has gone by, I have discovered that my heart has strengthened, yet softened, and broken, but has been made miraculously whole again.” This excerpt is from the exquisite essay “Apartment 5 on Dolphin Drive” by medical student Noor Ahmed of Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine at Seton Hill University, which won second place in the 2024 Dr. Hope Babette Tang Humanism in Healthcare Essay Contest. This year's Dr. Hope Babette Tang Humanism in Healthcare Essay Contest is open now for medical and nursing students. Essays are due in ONE WEEK, March 12. Winning essays are published in Academic Medicine Journal, by Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), and The Journal of Professional Nursing, by American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN).
