Congratulations to Drs Amalia Issa and Machelle Wilchesky as they become the new co-editors of the .
The MFMS Journal is open-access and has a mission to showcase the varied works of the faculty and students of the Â鶹AV Department of Family Medicine.
This journal was started as a unique journal by Drs Pierre Pluye and Roland Grad, two visionary faculty members who presciently saw the need for a journal to promote the academic works of Family Medicine faculty and graduate students. Drs Issa and Wilchesky intend on building on this important tradition and expand the Journal’s scope to include works produced by residents and other family medicine trainees. They look forward to continuing the unique editorial collaboration with graduate students in the Department.
They invite you to submit your research papers, review papers, commentaries, MSc and PhD theses, conference proceedings, and other work in family medicine studies. They also welcome ideas and suggestions about the journal's content!
