Lifelines is an annual

Geisel School of Medicine
at Dartmouth.

The journal has featured work by

The Players' Ring Theater in Portsmouth, NH.[3][4][5]

History

Lifelines was founded in 2002 by Sai Li (MED’06) and established with the publication of the first issue in Fall 2004.[6] The journal is published annually.

Li envisioned the journal as a canvas for literature and art that would "enhance the atmosphere of the health-care community by instilling in its readers a respect for the enduring human spirit and a profound hope for better understanding and dialogue between doctors and patients."[7]

The journal is supported by the Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement at the

Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, and the Fannie and Alan Leslie Center for the Humanities at Dartmouth College. The copyright is owned by the Trustees of Dartmouth College. Initially an online publication, the journal is now published in print and cataloged by the Rauner Special Collections Library at Dartmouth College.[8]

Content

The prose, poetry, and art featured in the journal aim to represent the multitude of human experiences in life, illness, and death. The journal seeks to overcome the separation in discourse between science and the humanities, while recognizing the challenges in combining the two.[9]

Lifelines publishes work by current and former students, faculty, writers, and artists.[10] Priority for inclusion in the journal is given to students, faculty, and alumni of the medical school, but exceptions are made for distinguished work.
