Publication Standards

Content

Submissions should connect to themes related to medicine or the medical humanities in some way. Omentum is not a place for opinion or overtly persuasive pieces.

  • Prose or poetry: no word limit
  • Music: mp3 or mp4 format*
  • Art: jpeg or png files
  • Dance videos: mp4 format*

* Music and Dance videos may not contain any copy written music.

Previously published pieces are accepted, as long as the author or artist has not granted exclusive publishing rights to that other publication.

The confidentiality of information related to any patient or patient encounter is an ethical and legal obligation of all health care providers, and this publication seeks to uphold those same standards. Therefore, submissions that contain PHI or identify another individual will not be published unless signed permission is included. In addition to written details, this includes artwork and photography that could reasonably identify an individual.
