Alan Peterkin’s book, “Staying Human During Residency Training-How To Survive and Thrive After Medical School” (University of Toronto Press) will be going into a sixth edition in the US/Canada and a new, fully revised UK edition next year (co-edited by Alan Bleakley).
Alan wants to include some graphic panels about the medical training experience-positive encounters/conflicts and stressors/reflections on the overall experience and is open each chapter with one or two panels or even one provocative illustration.
Submissions can be sent to this email = allan.peterkin@utoronto.ca .
Folks should indicate that the submitted work is original and that they authorize inclusion in both US/UK versions of the book.
They will be thanked in the introduction and receive a copy of book.
Alan is also happy to write a letter of thanks for students’/artists’ CV’s/Portfolios.
Alan has extended the deadline for graphics for the UK edition until the end of July.
Thanks! I have been talking with one of our residents about making a comic or two. Great opportunity!
