Submissions
The University of British Columbia Medical Journal (UBCMJ) is a student-run academic journal with a goal to engage students in dialogue in medicine. Our scope ranges from original research and review articles in medicine to medical trends, clinical reports, elective reports and commentaries in the principles and practice of medicine. We strive to maintain a high level of integrity and accuracy in our work, to encourage collaborative production and cross-disciplinary communication, and to stimulate critical and independent thinking.
We have a goal of establishing ourselves as one of the leading student-run publications in Canada and internationally, and expect high quality from our submissions. We accept articles in all areas of medicine, including but not limited to research, reviews, case reports, medical history, ethics, medical anthropology, epidemiology, public health, and international health.
UBCMJ is now accepting submissions for the next issue. The deadline for submissions is Monday Feb 27th, 11:59pm. The theme of this issue is the Healthcare Job Market, but submissions (especially Academic Research) need not be on theme. All article submissions can be made via our online submission system at http://ojs.library.ubc.ca/index.php/ubcmj/index.
