Professionalism Department in the Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics


The Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics (CQ) will initiate a new Department on professionalism in health-related disciplines, and submissions are invited. The goal of the new Professionalism Department is to provide a forum for identifying, justifying, and applying standards for determining whether practices, decisions, and actions are professionally required, permitted, or prohibited. Submissions can address professionalism in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, psychology, psychiatry, dentistry, physical therapy or any other health care or allied health discipline. Submissions may take the form of shorter or longer (3000 – 5000 word) articles, case studies, or commentaries.

Guidelines for preparing manuscripts are available online at: http://assets.cambridge.org/CQH/CQH_ifc.pdf). All submissions should include an abstract, and should be sent electronically to the Professionalism Department co-editors, Mark Wicclair ([email protected]) and David Barnard ([email protected]).
