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.

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

"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."
