Details: All entries must be original, unpublished writing intended for publishing in the LMS Newsletter. Do not put your name on the essay. Judges, physicians from the LMS Editorial Board, are blinded to authors. Instead, include a separate cover letter with name, entry category (active physician, resident, or U.K. medical student) essay title, a two or three sentence bio, a professional picture, and contact information (email, phone, address). The bio and picture will go with your article if published. Submit your essay in Microsoft Word format.
You have 800-1,000 words and the deadline is January 5th, 2025. The LMS Editorial Board judges will consider excellence in expression, creativity, readability, clarity, and the power of your message. These are essays, not research papers, write from what you know and feel, do not submit an AI generated answer. You can use AI as a tool but be upfront in your cover letter on how you used AI. Focus on answering the essay question.
All essay participants will be notified if they won or not by January 8th, 2025. The LMS Editorial Board will present the winners their checks at the LMS Dinner Social on January 14th, 2025, 6:00pm at the Signature Club.
Submission: Send via email as an attachment to Christopher Hickey, LMS EVP/CEO. Contact LMS if you have any questions, (859) 967-4099 or email.
