Hippocrates Society for Poetry and Medicine
CRANBURY, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Psychiatric Times®, the No. 1 multimedia platform for
psychiatrists in the United States, announces that its poem “Eye
Contact,” of the monthly Poetry of the Times column, received a
commendation in the 2019 International Hippocrates Prize for Poetry and
Medicine in the Health Professional category.
“We are honored to be recognized in the International Hippocrates Prize
for Poetry and Medicine,” said Tom Ehardt, president of MultiMedia
