Overview

Mednet  aims to improve health and well-being of the Canadian public by curating and disseminating the latest in clinical practice to Canadian physicians. Mednet is a modern international medical journal that digitally publishes current clinical practice informed by the latest data. We would like to break away from traditional academic formatting, allowing for articles of any format and content to be published after review. We encourage the use of visual formats including infographics and video. We publish conference proceedings, reviews, analyses, case studies, guidelines, commentaries, letters and editorials. Authors are affiliated with an academic institution or hospitals or are independent and selected by Mednet.

Please email andrew@mednet.ca to submit your materials for consideration.

As a hybrid medical journal, Mednet publishes on a wide variety of topics including, but not limited to:

  • Reporting on newly released clinical trial data and conference proceedings
  • KOL interviews on the Canadian context of new international practices
  • Cardiovascular health, diabetes, stroke and other chronic diseases

  • Primary care research
  • Public health and preventive care
