EX VIVO

Medicine is what happens in vivo.  But this is what happens after.

The new creative arts magazine from the Hippocratic Collective. We’re publishing work by residents, fellows and medical students at the intersection of medicine, art, and lived experience.

At the HC, we believe that the stories of the body, the ones that unfold in operating rooms, break rooms, bedrooms, and journals, don’t belong in a vacuum. They belong in public. In print. And in conversation with the larger culture. Stay tuned for Fall/Winter 2026/2027 applications.

Welcome to Ex Vivo

We’re looking for work that is sharp, honest, and original. Visual art, essays, poetry, photography, comics, memoir fragments, anatomical sketches, mixed media—if it resonates with life inside or after medicine, it belongs here.

This is not just about healing. This is about finding our voices. And showing the world what we see when we step outside the hospital, OR, and clinic.

Next issue will be published Winter 2026/2027.
