The Tempest – Mayo Clinic School of Medicine’s annual creative arts publication

The Tempest 2017

The Tempest is Mayo Clinic School of Medicine’s annual creative arts publication – a collection of poetry, prose and visual art meant to illustrate the growth of a medical student into a physician.

This activity is sponsored by the Dolores Jean Lavins Center for Humanities in Medicine, to support Mayo Clinic’s primary value, the needs of the patient come first, by integrating the arts and other expressions of human culture into the healing environment.

“We see creative expression as a tool for navigating the rigors of medical training, and we are honored to have the opportunity to help develop and produce this collection of original work by students of the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine.”
