Emotional Intelligence Documentary - The Importance Of Consciousness And The Art Of Noticing, Vidhya M. Biju

Cultivating Emotional Intelligence through the Humanities in Spain

This documentary follows my journey through Spain, which unexpectedly becomes a reflection on consciousness and what it means to live with intention. Through encounters with art, culture, and human connection, I examine how modern life, shaped by social media, automation, optimization, and routine, has weakened our capacity to think critically, reflect deeply, and remain present. The film argues that this loss of consciousness not only affects our personal lives but also influences how we respond to larger issues such as inequality, suffering, and social responsibility. Drawing on the philosophy of René Descartes and the poetry of Pablo Neruda, I explore …

Between Rounds And Resolve, Faizan Sheraz

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

“Between Rounds and Resolve” is a narrative poem chronicling the introspective journey of an internist transitioning toward a subspecialty in gastroenterology. Through poetic reflection, the piece captures the emotional cadence of clinical rounds, the quiet resilience forged in patient care, and the evolving sense of purpose that guides a physician toward deeper specialization. This work explores themes of identity, transformation, and professional growth, offering a humanistic lens on the road less traveled within medicine. It aims to resonate with readers, navigating their own paths of change, reaffirming the value of reflection and resolve in shaping a meaningful career in health …

An Education In Medicine, Angelina Hong

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

The path to becoming a doctor is an arduous and transformative process, and this poem attempts to illustrate a window into it. From the busy pre-med courses in college, to the rigorous academic expectations of medical school, the long work hours in residency, to finally trying to balance life and medicine as a busy attending physician—looking back, I am grateful for the unique opportunity. Not every day seemed positive at the time, but I now see that all the experiences, both good and bad, shaped who I am today and influenced my perception of the world and medicine.

The Reality Of Influence: Understanding Poetic Lineage, Anastasia Simms

2026

How does one distinguish between imitation and stealing? How does one determine who is an immature or mature, a bad or good poet or writer? At what threshold does someone’s work become so different from its original influence or inspiration that it is now unique? Harold Bloom seeks to answer these questions in The Anxiety of Influence: A Theory of Poetry, the course’s critical theory companion text, where he argues “poetic influence is a variety of melancholy or an anxiety-principle” (p. 7) because it is inescapable. I disagree with Bloom’s assessment that influence is negative and thus anxiety-inducing. Instead, …
