The Pulse Editorial Guide

Submit your news and events to The Pulse!

What is The Pulse?
The Pulse enewsletter is published every weekday by the Office of Marketing and Communication as an easy-to-use, accessible channel focused on information for and about the people, events, initiatives, opportunities and resources relevant to NEOMED students, faculty (including clinical) and staff.  

What is it not?
The Pulse is not meant to replace the NEOMED intranet, nor act as the “primary” method of communications for critical, personal, presidential or employment information. 

Have something to share in The Pulse?
Great! We welcome your submissions of news, announcements, events and accolades

Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

Articles — Articles should be 150 words or more. Content should feature students, faculty or staff; University programs or initiatives; or relevant events in the community. If you need help writing your article or would benefit from some writing prompts, contact thepulse@neomed.edu. Some items that might be news worthy (not an inclusive list!): receipt of a professional association or other award; student presentation or publication at the national level; scholarship information; new hire in the department; a new grant for research; reflection on a fellowship experience; and more.

Events — Share information about your upcoming lecture, simulation experience or other event of interest to the NEOMED community. Make sure you include WHO (who is hosting the event), WHAT (the name of the event), WHERE (where will it take place), WHEN (date and time) and WHY (a brief description of the purpose of the event). If there is a fee or registration is required, make sure to include HOW (provide a link or contact information). 

Marketing and Communication uses the Associated Press Stylebook; your articles will edited in that style. (Hint: no Oxford commas!) 

General Guidelines

  • All content must be related to or affiliated with faculty, staff or student information or events.
  • Content must be timely.
  • Published work and presentations by faculty, staff and students are the views of the individuals and do not represent the views of the University.
  • In the discussion section: Comments posted by individuals or any third party do not reflect the views of or any endorsement by The Pulse or NEOMED. We welcome relevant and respectful comments that engage others in further discussion of topics. Comments are reviewed prior to publication. The Pulse reserves the right to moderate or remove any comments that may be deemed obscene or offensive, including personal attacks or comments that are threatening, racist or sexist. The Pulse may also discontinue a single discussion or the entire forum platform if respectful discourse is not being conducted.
