Context, the only peer-reviewed electronic journal for health professional students engaged in their communities
Health Students Taking Action Together (HealthSTAT) has announced the debut of the inaugural issue of the only peer-reviewed electronic journal for health professional students engaged in their communities. Context connects students across the nation working to improve the health of our communities. In addition, the journal recognizes insightful, well-designed evaluations of student initiated programs from a variety of perspectives.
The journal's management team is accepting rolling manuscript submissions and applications for editors and peer reviewers. The journal is being published bi-annually. To submit a manuscript or to sign up for a free subscription, visit www.contextjournal.org
A rigorous peer review process ensures that articles meet high standards in terms of theoretical and methodological rigor. As an open access journal, Context offers the health professional community the opportunity to make research results freely available immediately on publication, and permanently available in public archives. Subscribers to Context benefit from the e-journal's multimedia capabilities and all articles and transcripts will be available for download.
The inaugural Editorial Board includes six health professional students representing four disciplines and six institutions: Carmen Patrick, Editor-in-Chief, Emory University School of Medicine (and member of the board of directors, Community-Campus Partnerships for Health); Hugo Javier Aparicio, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine; Euna M. August, MPH, University of South Florida (USF), PhD candidate, Department of Community & Family Health; John R. Casey, Edward Via Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine, DO candidate; Cheryl Hunchak, M.D. Harvard School of Public Health, MPH candidate Department of International Health; Pamela Valera, MSW, University of South Carolina, PhD candidate College of Social Work.
