Berkeley Medical Journal is a student-run publication focused on highlighting current Bay Area research and communicating new findings to the campus community. Students have the opportunity to speak directly to researchers, learn how to read complex scientific literature, acquire journalistic skills, and have their writing featured on the BMJ website.

Our team meets each week for one hour to edit articles, discuss writing techniques, and review science headlines in the news. Throughout the course of the semester, students work on two academic articles and are provided writing assistance from student editors. The course culminates with a short article presentation and a final packet that includes the edited articles.
