Abstract
Description
As we reach the midway point of 2021, the HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine would like to thank those behind the scenes that make this publication possible. Our journal would not have been possible without the assistance of our reviewers, authors and board members.
Keywords: scholarly communication, peer review, research, open access publishing, education, medical, graduate, medical journalism
The HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine once again thanks the reviewers and editorial staff that have helped over the first half of 2021. As the medical community slowly tries to establish a new norm, continuing to write and publish results of importance to our colleagues will help us to overcome the pandemic and to effectively protect and serve our patients.
As we pass the midway point of 2021 and look forward to continued recovery, we want to highlight our next special issue of the journal. Please see our call for papers on “Health Equity in Medicine”. We seek novel submissions that address health equity at every level of medicine including, but not limited to, direct patient care, physician training and systemic/structural issues. This issue will also consider other types of prose, from education and wellness initiatives to narrative essays and poetry. Artwork that relates to the topics of the special issue are also encouraged.
As always, we encourage our readers to consider submitting their own work, both scientific and personal, and ask them to consider volunteering to share their expertise as peer reviewers. Authorship and peer review with the journal are forms of scholarly activity recognized by the ACGME. Email us for more information.
Thank you for your continued support of the HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine.
