| First published in 1959, the BC Medical Journal
is a general medical journal governed by an editorial
board of physicians from numerous disciplines. It is the
official publication of the British Columbia Medical Association.
The BCMJ publishes high-quality clinical and
review articles written primarily by BC physicians.
Several times a year, we publish theme issues devoted
to a particular discipline or disease entity. The journal
also contains editorials, book reviews, and regular
columns from the BC Centre for Disease Control, the
BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, and UBC medical
students. A lively correspondence column and longer
opinion pieces provide a forum for discussion of political
as well as clinical issues of concern to the medical
profession in British Columbia. The BCMJ makes
a special effort to publish articles with a British
Columbia slant--articles on rural medicine, for example,
and on clinical problems encountered in the Pacific
Northwest.
The BCMJ web site was launched in November 2000.
It initially contained the full text of the clinical
articles from the July/August 2000 issue onward, but
we are gradually increasing the content we put on line.
The electronic BCMJ is accessible free of charge,
but is protected by copyright and cannot be posted on
other sites, though you are welcome to link to our site.
