Bellevue Literary Review (BLR) is a literary arts organization that uses storytelling and poetry to deepen understanding of health, illness, and healing through its award-winning literary journal, education, and dynamic public programming — connecting a community of readers, writers, patients, clinicians, and caregivers through shared stories.
BLR’s Art in Medicine program offers a welcoming creative space for clinical trainees. Through poetry, stories, visual art, and reflective writing, this year-long program helps emerging clinicians explore the challenges of caring for patients, maintaining compassion, and avoiding burnout. Art in Medicine brings together future doctors, nurses, PAs, physical therapists, and other students to create a community that spans across healthcare disciplines. Thanks to the support of BLR donors, there is no charge to participants.
