This online publication dedicated to reflection and care of the person in medicine, seeks submissions that reflect upon elucidate the “New Normal” in medical education and medicine.  Since the onset of the COVID19 pandemic, medical education and the practice of medicine feel different and in some ways are now different.  We invite authors to reflect on their experiences to provide insight into any aspect of this evolution that they find compelling. Submissions should follow Reflective MedEd’s typical conventions outlined in the Author Instructions. Timeline:  We hope to publish the first of these essays at the end of September 2022 and will integrate additional accepted pieces into our publishing schedule through the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023. Send all inquiries and manuscripts to Mark Kuczewski, PhD, mkuczew@luc.edu
