The CMAJ Editorial Fellowship was launched in 1998 with the intention of introducing physicians early in their training to the inside workings of a medical journal, to the mutual benefit of the Fellow and the Journal. Applications are invited from recent medical graduates and residents who are interested in obtaining experience in medical writing, editing and publishing. The position is full time for one year and based at the CMAJ's office in Ottawa. The salary is based on the equivalent residency remuneration in Ontario, with supplement in lieu of benefits. The editorial fellow participates in all aspects of journal production, ranging from dealing with authors and helping to decide which manuscripts are published to soliciting commentaries. Fellows are also expected to write extensively and may become involved in developing theme issues, series, or other journal innovations.

The next round of applications will be for the 2002 Editorial Fellowship, beginning July 1, 2002, with a mid-December deadline.
