Re-launched in 1994 by then medical student, Jonathan Lim, with accolades from both the Dean of Medicine at McGill University, Dr. A. Fuks and Prime Minister Jean Chretien, MJM's mandate to provide a forum for students across the world sets it apart from nearly all other medical journals in circulation.

The MJM offers all students an opportunity to publish the results of their scientific research or to contribute commentaries about pressing issues of the day. The unique flavour of this journal has gained the attention of many authorities, including NEJM, JAMA and Annals RCPSC, who recognise the value of journal created by students for students. In all of its issues, the MJM has strived to strike a delicate balance between original articles, reviews and editorial letters. Its goal is to provide its readers with a global perspective of clinical medicine and accentuate the pressing social concerns as well as denoting new scientific breakthroughs.

The nature of the administration of the MJM makes it particularly sympathetic to contributions from students who are just beginning their careers in the medical and scientific fields. As such, this journal hopes to encourage students to continue their research by providing them with an editorial staff eager to consider their submissions. Many students publish their first articles with the MJM and readily recognise that this journal served as a launch pad for their future contributions to scientific literature. Furthermore, the MJM is continually looking to expand its network and recruit other enthusiastic individuals into its community. The MJM staff welcomes anyone eager to participate in this experience either through submissions or technical assistance. All questions and comments are welcome.
