UBCMJ is recruiting for 2011/2012
Your enthusiasm and excitement are the CORE of our organization - we need dedicated individuals to take a leadership role and continue promoting and building our journal!
The UBC Medical Journal is a journal that is run and written by students, for the world. Most positions are open to students in any academic program; students from health related disciplines outside of medicine are encouraged to apply. For details about the various positons go here. Jr Co-Editor in Chief, Jr Managing Editor and Jr Communications Manager positions are restricted to first year medical students, as these positions require frequent communication with other staff, many of whom are in medicine.
