apenndx was founded in 2019 by a diverse group of first year medical students from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Encompassing both the humanities and sciences, apenndx offers an outlet for students, faculty, and healthcare professionals to share prose, poetry, art, photography, and other media. We hope that our magazine provides a holistic view into our medical community and some of the lessons learned from within it.
apenndx is student run and independent of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
