New season of Doctalks: A Doctors of BC podcast production

Issue: BCMJ, vol. 64, No. 6, July August 2022, Page 253 News

On the first episode of DocTalks season 2, we speak with experts Julie Jones and Carl Prophet about how doctors can optimize their physical and online safety (www.doctorsofbc.ca/news/doctalks-podcast-physical-and-online-violence-how-protect-yourself). We’re hearing more and more reports of violent threats— either physical, verbal, or digital—directed toward physicians, triggered specifically by tension created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Guests Jones and Prophet speak to the current political climate and its effect on violence for BC doctors. They share how, through prevention planning and informed response strategies, doctors can equip themselves with a plan and the tools to increase personal and cyber security.

Jones and Prophet also lead live webinars, hosted by Doctors of BC’s new Business Pathways program (www.doctorsofbc.ca/managing-your-practice/business-pathways), where doctors can learn even more about this topic and participate in live Q&A sessions. More webinar dates will be announced soon. For now, a recording of a past webinar and a downloadable tip sheet, which summarizes the key takeaways, are available online (webinar recording: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAu3Akxs7yQ; tip sheet: www.doctorsofbc.ca/sites/default/files/human_safety_optimization_tip_sheet.pdf).

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.
