Welcome to SYNAPSE 

​Since its inception in 2010, SYNAPSE has served as the University of Pennsylvania's premier multidisciplinary student run healthcare publication.  We pride ourselves on maintaining a diverse focus, and we cover issues in healthcare, ranging from medical research and science & technology to behavioral health, health care economics and ethics.  Articles from current and past issues can be reached from the archive.

We recruit writers at the beginning of each semester and work with their ideas to produce peer-reviewed articles at the end of the semester. 

As part of our ongoing commitment to healthcare education, we also collaborate with numerous student organizations to organize speaker events and seminars related to healthcare.  Our flagship event is our semesterly launch event, where we reveal our published issues following a keynote speech from a notable leader in healthcare. ​​
