The literature, arts and medicine publication welcomes art, photography, prose, and poetry from Vanderbilt students, residents, faculty, alumni, patients, and the Nashville community at large. Tabula Rasa displays a variety of medical-themed writing, as well as medical and non-medical creative work.
