The BC Medical Journal has completely revamped its online presence. With immediate effect, www.bcmj.org will not only continue with its tight focus on medical stories and advancements that occur in British Columbia (BC), but will be adding the more dynamic qualities that the web offers.
Historically, bcmj.org has simply provided the new monthly printed journal in an online format. It is now including video content linked to clinical articles in the journal that will incorporate related surgical videos and author interviews. Health notes for doctors and patients will provide printable tips on topics such as dealing with depression, reducing stress, and dementia, as well as patient information related to clinical articles published in the BCMJ. Also on offer is interactive content such as a blog, where physicians can interact with each other and members of the public. Also, readers can comment directly on published articles.
The new interactive website is open to physicians in BC - and physicians around the globe - as well as all members of the public.
BC Medical Journal is a general medical journal featuring primarily scientific research, review articles and updates on contemporary clinical practices. These are either written by BC physicians or focused on topics likely to be of interest to them, such as columns from the BC Centre for Disease Control and ICBC. The print BCMJ is issued 10 times each year, while bcmj.org will release stories throughout the month. The journal is peer reviewed and edited by an Editorial Board consisting of physicians from varying disciplines. Although it is published by the BC Medical Association (BCMA), it maintains distance from the BCMA in order to encourage open debate. It also hosts an online database for all BCMJ issues dating back to 2000.
