In this edition of
AJGP, we present two initiatives and invite your submissions.
First, we present a case study that is a collaboration between a medical student on their general practice rotation at medical school, with their supervisors.
Every year, hundreds of medical students do general practice rotations. They all see important and interesting patients, and many will write assessments that could easily be published as case studies or other articles in the
AJGP. We invite, we urge, all medical students, their supervisors and their host medical schools to publish in the
AJGP.
Second, we open up a new series, ‘Beyond the clinic door’. For most of us, our clinical and professional practice is significantly integrated with our persona and our personal lives. How can that not be? At the
AJGP, we want to recognise this reality and we want to see more articles in the Journal that explore and share aspects of what it means to be a general practitioner. We are very open to hearing what you want to say! It may be prose, it may be poetry, and it can be on any topic that is important to you, and that you think your colleagues – our readership – might find interesting. Peer review will always occur, and this will usually be done by one or more of the medical editors at the
AJGP, with external review as deemed appropriate.
We look forward to hearing from you.
As this issue of
AJGP focuses on disaster management in general practice, it is worth highlighting the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners’ tools and resources on climate change and human health, which can be found at our Climate Change and Health website,
