Every year, over 800 residents and subspecialty fellows rotate through Vancouver General Hospital/UBC Hospital and GF Strong Centre. Although historically regarded as learners, residents and fellows provide an invaluable clinical service to the collective institution. Without their clinical contributions, the institution could not function in its current form.

The inaugural Vancouver General Hospital–UBC Hospital–GF Strong Resident Recognition and Appreciation Night was held on 29 May 2023. In the Paetzold Auditorium of Vancouver General Hospital, the Vancouver Medical, Dental, and Allied Staff Association (VMDAS) and the administration of Vancouver Coastal Health formally recognized the clinical contributions of its residents and fellows as outstanding health care professionals. Prior to the event, each specialty group (i.e., department, division, section, and special program) was invited to nominate up to 10% of their trainees for their clinical service and other contributions to the institution that exceeded expectations (academic recognition remains the domain of the University of British Columbia via its training programs). Staff physicians and surgeons in specialty areas were asked to consider the contributions of each of their trainees during the nomination process.

We are proud to acknowledge 50 trainees selected for this inaugural recognition.

The VMDAS intends to continue this program annually. The program and event were supported by a generous award for Innovation in Workplace Wellness from the Dr Mas Yukawa Foundation. The foundation, based at the University of Alberta, is dedicated to wellness among health care professionals. We are proud to have been selected as the first non-Albertan recipients of this award.

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.
