Doctors of BC awarded its annual $1000 scholarships for 2023 to Mr Mikko McDiarmid and Mr Tristan Longman. The recipients were chosen from an abundance of highly impressive applicants.

Mr Mikko McDiarmid is an undergraduate student at Capilano University working toward a degree in psychology. Upon completion, he plans to pursue a master’s degree and open a counseling clinic. Mikko believes strongly in this work and the potential to make a positive difference in someone’s life, no matter how small. He considers helping as many people as he can through counseling to be one of the most rewarding careers he could pursue. Outside of student life, he loves cross-country running in local trials, reading, writing, and spending time with his family.

Mr Tristan Longman is studying neuroscience and music at the University of Guelph in Ontario and is excited for all there is to learn. Tristan also has a deep passion for music—he sings, plays guitar and piano, and hopes to release some of the songs he has written later this summer. He has also played soccer for the past 14 years and finds tranquility in the difficulty of the sport. Additionally, he enjoys reading, board games, hiking, and spending time with loved ones.

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.
