From the Editor
Welcome to our Second Issue
I’d like to welcome you to the second issue of Volume One of The Spartan Medical Research Journal (SMRJ)! With the retirement of Dr. Eric Zemper at the Statewide Campus System (SCS), I now have the distinct pleasure of serving as your new Chief Editor of your SMRJ starting with this issue.
The purpose of our online peer-reviewed journal is to provide a convenient, formal publication option for research/quality improvement project and clinical case study results from Michigan State University COM students, residents, fellows and faculty. We continue to receive submissions from both SCS-affiliated and non-affiliated researchers from other states. I’m also happy to announce the addition of Mr. Sam Wisniewski, MS as our biostatistician at the SCS; Sam is also serving as my Editorial Assistant on the SMRJ.
Those of us at the SCS continue to be dependent on a large number of colleagues to create these journal issues, especially from our growing number of expert reviewers. Our editorial office team offer many thanks to those many individuals who reviewed these Issue 2 submissions. We are still recruiting expert reviewers from all medical specialty areas to be members of our SMRJ Editorial Board. If you have an interest in participating as a reviewer, please contact me.
If you have comments or suggestions, please feel free to contact me at any time. Please remember that we also accept Letters to the Editor submissions. I hope that you enjoy reading this second issue!
Sincerely,
Bill Corser, PhD, RN, NEA-BC
