Visionary Medicine for BIPOC Student Wellness 
A Medical Humanities project by V. Yu, URSMD '22 

"In 2016, the term visionary medicine was introduced in an essay in the journal Medical Humanities by Pasco, Anderson and DasGupta. Visionary medicine, the authors proposed, is a tool for trainees “to imagine and produce futures that preserve health and racial justice for all.” This concept takes root in the rich history of visionary fiction, in which storytelling is employed to rewrite a future that challenges contemporary power structures. A quintessential example of visionary fiction is the works of Octavia Butler, in which she prompts readers to question self-identity, racial oppression, and morality. With visionary medicine, we are invited into the creative process of deconstructing medical hierarchy and racist institutions, and in their stead building anti-racist realities. 

"In recent years, the spirit of visionary medicine has reverberated across the globe with chants of “Defund the police! (Invest in our communities)” as well as across the URMC community with calls of “Actions speak louder!” and specific demands made to the institution. In club meetings, department rounds, and town halls, community members have been engaging in the imaginative process of anti-racism. 

"This project seeks to imagine wellness for BIPOC students through animation and music. It depicts a designated wellness space for these students, the Dr. Gina Cuyler Wellness Room, which is an actual space that was created out of the old office of the medical school’s founding dean and was named after this celebrated alumna in 2021 in response to student demands. On the left wall hangs a portrait of Dr. Gina Cuyler. Beneath it, the student on a laptop peruses a clearly marked flowchart of the process for reporting and investigating acts of discrimination. On the back wall, updates from student affinity groups SNMA, LMSA and APAMSA hang to foster inter-group collaboration. On the bookshelf, regularly updated mental health and educational support resources are accessible to students. Less concrete but hopefully captured by the animation and soundtrack of this project is the ambience of safety, comfort and camaraderie among the students. 

"At its core, visionary medicine is an invitation to imagine - a set of open arms, a pair of listening ears, yes - but also an ever-questioning friend, a strong pair of boots with which to wade through discomfort and self-reflection, and an unwavering commitment to racial justice in the fields of medicine."
