Currently accepting submissions for the upcoming Fall 2017 issue!

The UBC Medical Journal is now accepting submissions for the Fall 2017 issue. The theme of the issue is Precision Medicine – from fundamentals to practice, pharmacogenomics to the microbiome and companion diagnostics, this UBCMJ issue aims to explore the challenges and opportunities of this exciting field. We also aim to identify areas of health care that could benefit from these advances. Overall, this field of research is becoming increasingly relevant for medical students and physicians alike; the future of clinical practice rests upon providing high-quality patient-centred care, and medicine that is truly personalized will sit at the heart of it.

Submissions may fall into one of the following categories: Academic Research, Reviews, Commentaries, News and Letters, & Case and Elective Reports. We also accept submissions that do not fall into this theme. The submission deadline of our Fall 2017 issue is March 11, 2017. Submissions can be made via our online submission system here.

To encourage and recognize high-quality writing, the UBCMJ Distinguished Writing Award, including a $250 honorarium, will be presented to the authors of the strongest article submitted in the Fall 2017 and Spring 2018 issues.
