Surgo Visions Competition

Abstract

"A picture is worth a thousand words" - Confucius

To encourage intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, observational and diagnostic skills, the ability to empathize with patients, and promote a general sense of well-being, Surgo will publish up to 5 images submitted by medical students in each issue.

Images can be in the form of a painting, cartoon, photograph, still life drawing, doodle ... the list is endless - limited only by your imagination.

Selection criteria:

• The image must be an original piece, submitted via email to the Editor in Chief, Surgo (format - JPEG or TIFF)
• It should be certified as original and be accompanied by a short description of what it represents/means to you / why it should be published.
• The best 5 will be selected for publication in Surgo by Professor Cindy Chew.
• Each successful submission is awarded £20.
• At the end of the year, all published images are eligible to compete for the Best Medical Vision prize - up to £100
