Global Health Magazine

Medsin & the Lancet Student will soon be producing a joint global health magazine. This magazine will be published twice a year and distributed to Medsin members at the National Conference in October and the Global Health Conference in March. Furthermore, the theme of each magazine will coincide with the theme of the conference, i.e. the first edition will be on the theme of 'Power and Politics in Global Health'.

How?

  • The Lancet Student and the Medsin e-newsletter will make a call for submission of articles on the theme of the forthcoming conference.
  • Students will send the articles directly to the Lancet Student, and articles will undergo the usual peer-review process.
  • A selection board will choose approximately 15 articles for all those submitted, for publication in the paper magazine.
  • All articles (including those not selected for the paper magazine) will be published on the Lancet student website.

Call for Submissions for 1st Edition

We are now soliciting articles for the first edition which will be entitled ‘Medsin and the Lancet Student present Power and Politics in Global Health’ and we would love YOU to contribute.

The publication of this magazine at the National Conference, UCL in October, will coincide with the most politically charged months seen in years. With elections in the US, Russia, the Olympic Games in China, the shifting political landscape of Latin America; the flux of emerging and established powers are likely to have huge implications for global health. It is a very interesting theme and it is important to discuss these issues among medical students and health care professionals.

As well as being released in print, this will also be available online on the Medsin and the Lancet Student websites.

Your articles should be no longer than 1000 words and should be submitted by the end of July.

Please send your submissions to: student@lancet.com or rhona.macdonald@lancet.com.
