Founded as an independent club, the Boiler Medical Humanities Review is Purdue’s first undergraduate-run publication dedicated to exploring the rich, interdisciplinary field of medical humanities, an emerging area that bridges the social sciences, arts, and literature to examine human health and illness. We believe that caring for others—or experiencing that care—is not only a technical responsibility but also a deeply creative and human endeavor. Our mission is to deepen understanding of the human experience in healthcare by providing a platform for personal reflection, research, and creative expression. Through this journal, we strive to build a supportive community that engages with these vital topics from a wide range of perspectives.
