Trabeculae is the University of Minnesota School of Medicine’s first Arts and Literature magazine. A hybrid print and online publication open to all University of Minnesota medical students featuring prose, poetry, visual artwork, and editorial writing. The title, recalling the structure of cancellous bone, was chosen to reflect the interwovenness of medicine, art, and the humanities. Trabeculae encompasses the full scope of the creative passions and perspectives of our medical students.

We invite you to the pages of Trabeculae to wander among what has been woven. May you enjoy your time.
