Issue: BCMJ, vol. 61, No. 7, September 2019, Pages 279-280 News

What do you do with your downtime? Doctors of BC knows you work hard. Your downtime is important and we want to help you make the most of it to do the things you love. 

Want to enjoy a round of golf in the majestic hills of Whistler? How about attending some live theatre? Feel like joining a gym and living a more active lifestyle? Club MD gives you access to discounted rates for a curated collection of offerings you’ll enjoy. 

Relaunched in November 2018, Club MD now focuses on lifestyle offerings—from travel to sports, theatre, amusement parks, dining, car purchases, and more. The team is continually sourcing new, high-value offers exclusive to physicians. 

Club MD was relaunched in response to member feedback indicating a wish for new discounts that are more meaningful to physicians. New offers were added and the program continues to grow. We continue to look for even more ways to provide members with discounts that are health-conscious, environmentally friendly, and available anywhere across the province, in some cases, even internationally. 

Visit us online today at www.doctorsofbc.ca/clubmd and take advantage of this program. Call the team at 1 800 665-2262 (x7921) or email clubmd@doctorsofbc.ca if you have any questions. We’re available and happy to help in any way we can.

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.
