Business Pathways introduces HR toolkit to help physicians hire, onboard office staff

Issue: BCMJ, vol. 64, No. 5, June 2022, Page 203 News

Business Pathways is a new program from Doctors of BC dedicated to helping members navigate the operational side of running a practice—a one-stop shop to access targeted resources based on practice needs during all stages of a medical career.

With the launch of the program, Business Pathways is introducing the first of three HR toolkits that will help with all aspects of managing staff. The first toolkit, available now at www.doctorsofbc.ca/managing-your-practice/business-pathways/managing-your-office/human-resources-toolkit, delves into best practices for recruiting and hiring staff. HR management is an area of particular importance to doctors, and more in-depth toolkits for other key aspects of managing office staff will be released as soon as possible.

Also available are exclusive deals in partnership with Club MD (www.doctorsofbc.ca/your-benefits/discount-programs/club-md), for legal and financial services from MD Financial Management and MNP LLP, and from other business partners like TopStack and Staples (member login required).

There are guides, resources, and other toolkits as well, which include support for:

More tools, resources, and educational opportunities will be released on an ongoing basis. Business Pathways is here to help doctors optimize their practice, every step of the way. Access all resources at www.doctorsofbc.ca/managing-your-practice/business-pathways.

Above is the information needed to cite this article in your paper or presentation. The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) recommends the following citation style, which is the now nearly universally accepted citation style for scientific papers:
Halpern SD, Ubel PA, Caplan AL, Marion DW, Palmer AM, Schiding JK, et al. Solid-organ transplantation in HIV-infected patients. N Engl J Med. 2002;347:284-7.

About the ICMJE and citation styles

The ICMJE is small group of editors of general medical journals who first met informally in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1978 to establish guidelines for the format of manuscripts submitted to their journals. The group became known as the Vancouver Group. Its requirements for manuscripts, including formats for bibliographic references developed by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), were first published in 1979. The Vancouver Group expanded and evolved into the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), which meets annually. The ICMJE created the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals to help authors and editors create and distribute accurate, clear, easily accessible reports of biomedical studies.

An alternate version of ICMJE style is to additionally list the month an issue number, but since most journals use continuous pagination, the shorter form provides sufficient information to locate the reference. The NLM now lists all authors.

BCMJ standard citation style is a slight modification of the ICMJE/NLM style, as follows:

  • Only the first three authors are listed, followed by "et al."
  • There is no period after the journal name.
  • Page numbers are not abbreviated.
