The UBC Medical Journal (UBCMJ) is inviting submissions for the Fall 2018 issue on Public Health! The focus of public health is to promote health through prevention and management of disease and injury on a population scale. In British Columbia, the creation of smoke-free spaces by public health authorities have been in place since the early 1980s. Immunization programs, food security, and safe drinking water are other examples of public health activities. Our upcoming UBCMJ issue aims to highlight the challenges and opportunities that lie at the intersection of public health policy, health education, and community engagement.
Submissions may fall into one of the following categories: Academic Research, Reviews, Case and Elective Reports, News and Letters, and Commentaries. We also accept submissions that do not fall into this theme.
Submission deadline for the Fall 2018 issue is March 10, 2018.
The Guide to Authors and submission platform can be found on our website.
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.
