Submit Your Op-EdGuest Op-Eds are an opportunity for Healthcare Huddle community members to contribute original perspectives, insights, and reflections to our newsletter.
Healthcare Huddle reaches physicians and healthcare professionals who care about the system behind the medicine. Guest Op-Eds allow you to:
We're looking for authentic, physician-to-physician writing that illuminates broader truths about healthcare, challenges conventional thinking, or offers hard-won insights from the field.
To maintain quality and brand alignment, we're starting with our most engaged community members
Join Huddle+ or become an active Slack community member. We'll expand the program to broader applications after the first 3-6 months.
We're looking for pieces that resonate with physicians and healthcare professionals navigating the complexity of modern medicine
Write colleague-to-colleague. Keep it simple, conversational, and direct. No fluff or filler — every sentence should have a purpose.
Start with a strong hook. Keep paragraphs short (1-3 sentences). Build momentum: problem → analysis → why it matters → reflections or solutions.
Target 600-900 words. Long enough to develop an idea, short enough to respect busy readers.
We encourage the use of AI tools to help draft, refine, and edit your writing. However, the final piece must reflect your original voice, structure, and perspective. AI should assist your thinking, not replace it. Your clinical experience and personal perspective should shine through every paragraph.
Email your draft to [email protected] with a brief author bio (2-3 sentences) and any potential conflicts of interest.
