From the Judges' Report
Two of the biggest challenges of writing a great story is finding the "dynamic" when it lurks deep under the surface; and alternatively, knowing to get out of the way when it's so apparent, it doesn't need any help. The writers of Emory Medicine magazine have mastered both. The stories highlight how the practice of medicine can alternate between methodical processes and split-second life-or-death decisions. In doing so, the "research, patient care, and faculty/health clinicians at Emory Medicine" is made accessible and inspiring.
