Hello and welcome to our next issue of the Journal of the Association of Physician Assistants in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery. There was a great turnout in Miami for the APACVS Annual Symposium. We greatly enjoyed getting to connect with many of the attendees and meeting several of our previous authors in person!
Among the many wonderful interactions in Miami, a few of them stood out and I feel now is a good time to share. Several attendees shared they had a topic which they felt would be of benefit to our readership, however, did not convey well or completely in the traditional printtype media of a journal. Topics such as a procedural approach, or completion of technical aspects of a procedure tend to be more visual in nature and difficult to portray with words. These are fantastic ideas and being a digital journal makes us uniquely able to not only accept but are uniquely able to distribute. I was very excited to be able to share during our conversations our ability to accept digital media submissions, and how valuable they can be to our collective practice and understanding. If writing a traditional typeset manuscript is not something which matches well with your topic, please reach out—we will be happy to work with you on digital media content.
For those who do have ideas best fit for print media and are struggling with manuscript development, please also reach out. We have a talented associate editor for writer development and are creating an educational series on manuscript development, types of manuscripts and the research process. In short, we are eager to support your ideas in all types of media and
assist with any apprehension regarding the process that may be preventing the important sharing of topics in a peer reviewed and academic forum, to better our readership.
Please reach out if you have an idea or need help on the creation process.
-Stay safe and keep creating,
-AM
