Students at the University of Ottawa, many of whom were targeting a career in medicine, were surveyed to determine their attitudes and expectations regarding a new student-run peer-reviewed journal for the health sciences. A number of students reported that the existence of the journal would make them more likely to take a class with a written component, while a majority would work harder on that assignment. Those intending to pursue postgraduate or professional studies were most likely to recognize the value to their careers of having a publication history. We argue that student-run medical communication endeavors such as this are beneficial both for enhancing student careers and for contributing to a more thorough educational experience.
渥太华大学的学生接受了调查，其中许多人以医学为职业目标，以确定他们对一份新的由学生运营的健康科学同行评审期刊的态度和期望。一些学生报告说，该期刊的存在会使他们更有可能选择有书面作业的课程，而大多数人会在该项作业上更加努力。打算攻读研究生或专业课程的学生最有可能认识到有发表经历对其职业生涯的价值。我们认为，像这样由学生运营的医学交流活动既有利于促进学生的职业发展，也有助于提供更全面的教育体验。
