Write for us
We publish doctors who have something specific to say.
Students, residents, consultants, and doctors who left: if you have seen something first-hand that others would learn from, we would like to hear it.
What we look for
- First-hand experience
- Field Notes and Dispatches from doctors who lived it: a posting, a career change, a week, a hard decision.
- One ordinary week
- For The Week, Accounted For: log one real week, hour by hour. We send a simple sheet, and you approve the piece before it runs.
- Reported pieces
- Features and explainers built on primary sources and real interviews, on any desk.
- Considered opinion
- Essays that argue something specific and stand behind it, without slogans.
Our standards
- 1Nothing invented: no composite characters, made-up quotes or unsourced figures.
- 2Health and money claims need primary sources, which we check.
- 3Declare any competing interest. Paid promotion is not journalism and we do not publish it as such.
- 4No burnout glorification, no shaming, no flex.
- 5We edit for clarity and length, and you see the final version before it is published.
How to pitch: a few lines on the idea, why now, and why you. No finished drafts on first contact, please. Write to [email protected].
