Mauli

We are excited to introduce Mauli, a brand new student-initiated, and student-run journal for the arts and humanities.

Mauli is the art and literary journal of the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) and its greater medical community. We showcase creative works of any focus submitted by JABSOM affiliates. We believe that the arts and the humanities are essential to the development of a physician and recognize the value of the creative process in all stages of premedical, graduate, and continuing medical education.

The journal’s name, Mauli (bestowed to us by Dr. Malia Purdy), embodies ideas of growth, connection to humanity, and a bridge between the fields of science and humanities.

In studying medicine, the artists, writers, and creators in us are often overlooked or set in the back burner. It is our hope that this journal, alongside other student organizations, can help to keep those parts of us alive and well. We believe that having an outlet for free-flowing ideas and embracing all facets of who we are will make us more effective and happier students and physicians.

The Mauli Team would also like to extend a big mahalo to Sandy Liu at the Office of Student Affairs for all her time and help to create the Mauli website.
