letter from the editorsWhere does medicine reside?Perhaps it lives with science: glass flasks and microbial models, ascendingin size and scale to case studies and clinical trials, until statistically satisfactoryoutcomes find their way into journals and textbooks - first medical,then historical. Yet medicine is also a craft of sorts, and so it rents a roomwith other professions that call what they do “practicing”: lawyers, architects,musicians. From the recipient’s view, medicine lurks somewhere betweenterror and hope, fluctuates wildly, leaves an indelible impression.For the medical student, it is an evolving relationship. At times, our educationis empirically detached, cold enough to see your own breath; inothers, it is blisteringly intimate in ways we find ourselves unprepared for.We occupy a Schrödingerian state of being both amateur and authority,consumer and contributor, patient and (future) provider.As a group of first-year medical and dental students, we chose to makesense of this evolving relationship through our shared love of the humanities.We created this publication, each page a uniquely adorned room, formedicine to reside in. It lives in our paintings and photographs that capturethe dynamic exuberance of life within a static frame. It lives in oursculptures shaped by hands that pull sutures. It lives in our poetry andprose that explore the personal and the broader societal implications ofwhat healthcare means, of what health means.We chose the name In Vivo — Latin for “within the living” — because itis in each of our living experiences that medicine resides and flourishes.We hope that, as you view and read what our talented medical studentsand faculty have produced, you find space to share and reflect on wheremedicine lives with you.Sincerely,Yilong Peng and Emily Y.
