Volume 1 | 2020 Voices from the Faculty – Voices Project

Contents | 2020

55-word stories are just that—stories told in 55 words. The genre was
coined by Steven Moss, founder of the New Times weekly in San
Luis Obispo County, CA, which sponsored the first 55-word story
contest in 1987. Since then, many communities, including medicine,
have found the form useful in telling their unique experiences.

Dedication

Our deepest thanks go to our students, who created their own collection of 55-word stories last year, and inspired us to do the same. We love being educators because we learn so much from you!
