studentBMJ - Who?
studentBMJ is published by the BMJ Publishing Group Ltd - the publishing arm of the British Medical Association. Along with its flagship journal - British Medical Journal, the BMJ Publishing
Group also produces over 27 speciality journals, a number of medical books and other medical publications.
studentBMJ is a monthly international medical journal for students with an interest in medicine. It was launched over 5 years ago and contains articles that have been specially commissioned with medical students in mind. It also features carefully selected articles from the BMJ.
The journal is compiled by a student editor - a medical student who takes a year out from studying and who is responsible for making the journal more student friendly. Student advisers from various medical schools in the UK and overseas are also recruited to ensure the articles in the studentBMJ are those you'd want to read.
The journal is split into various sections including:
- Life - this is where medical students write about things that matter to them. Want to know where to go on elective? How to avoid student debt? What life on the medical team at Glastonbury is like? This is the section to read.
- Education - features articles written by experts who are asked to include the kind of information not normally found in textbooks - hints and tips that can take years of clinical experience to accumulate. It will tell you everything from why asparagus makes your urine smell to how to treat anaphylactic shock.
- Papers - introduces the world of original scientific research. Every month we publish a paper taken from the BMJ that features cutting edge medical research, and supply an accompanying commentary telling you exactly what it means in real terms.
