The inaugural issue of EVMS Journal of Medicine and Health Sciences (JMHS) is now available. This student-run journal is a compilation of distinguished papers, projects and articles written by student authors with faculty mentorship. All submitted works were reviewed by an editorial team, and future issues of this bi-annual publication will implement a formalized student-run peer review process.

"Medical journals are forums in which many advances in the field of medicine are communicated and ultimately transformed into better patient care, " says Robert Orgeira, marketing director for JMHS and a surgical assistant class of 2011 student. "JMHS will give the EVMS community the opportunity to publish their research and contribute commentaries relevant to health care and medical education."

Copies of JMHS are available in Lewis Hall, Hofheimer Hall and outside the Brickell Library. For more information, visit www.evms.edu/jmhs.
