STIMULUS
stim·u·lus | \ ˈstim-yə-ləs \
n. something that incites change, action, or response.

Our journal name, Stimulus, has a double meaning: first, it represents a stimulus for
positive change in the healthcare field as a result of the medical humanities. Secondly, it
represents the purpose that underlies every artform: to stimulate the audience’s
emotions.
