A
Message from
Dr. Richard Caplan, M.D.
I established the Carol A. Bowman Creative
Writing Contest after the death of Dr. Bowman, who had just
received her Ph.D. from the University of Iowa in Medical
Humanities, although for several years I had been sponsor
of such an effort in cooperation with Vital Signs. The purpose
was to encourage medical students to reflect on their new
experiences in the world of medicine and to encourage the
process and discipline of putting words on paper effectively,
and to enjoy the satisfactions of creative effort.
