Welcome
Pulse reveals the personal side of health care through stories, poems and images. On this page--our current and most recent offerings.
Launched in 2008, Pulse was created by members of the Department of Family and Social Medicine at Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in collaboration with colleagues and friends around the country.
Pulse's goal is to tell the story of health care through the personal experiences of those who live it--patients, health professionals, students and caregivers. At a time when medicine is often criticized for being cold and oblivious, Pulse aims to highlight the human and vulnerable face of medicine in order to promote the humanistic practice of medicine and encourage advocacy for a compassionate system of health care for all.
Since its launch, Pulse has drawn the attention of the national media and policymakers. Widely used in medical education to promote humanism and professionalism, Pulse is read by both health professionals and non-health professionals who are drawn by its diverse voices, by its strong writing and by its authenticity.
Pulse welcomes submissions by anyone who has a healthcare-related story to tell.
