Aims & Scope

Quill & Scope publishes a wide range of creative writing, medical research, personal anecdotes, and visual arts. Diversity and breadth of scope are core values of the journal, as are integrity and professionalism.

Each and every submission is thoughtfully reviewed by our editors, who partner with the original authors to ensure that the published pieces are true to form. All work on the journal is accomplished through the Quill & Scope Club, which can be joined at any time while at New York Medical College. For more information on the club, or if you are interested in joining our team as an editor, please either see our table during the annual NYMC Club Fair or send an email to nymc.journal@gmail.com . We look forward to working with you!
