Aims and Scope
The Caribbean Medical Journal is an inclusive medical journal reporting research in the areas of clinical medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, pharmacology and allied health specialties. The journal aims to showcase research within the Caribbean region publishing original articles, reviews, case reports, viewpoints, short reports and letters to the editor. We welcome submissions pertaining to both clinical sciences as well as basic sciences, provided their clinical relevance is well explained in the paper.
