About Blood and Thunder

Blood and Thunder is a medically themed arts journal published by the students of the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine. Each year, hundreds of submissions are received for consideration to be published in the journal. These submissions are reviewed by a team of medical students. It is the goal and purpose of Blood and Thunder to enhance the education of healthcare professionals through the exploration of art for artistic expression.
