OPEN MEDICINE BENEFIT
It is our pleasure to invite you to a benefit evening for Open Medicine, Canada's new peer-reviewed open-access general medical journal. Open Medicine was launched in April 2007 by a group of volunteer medical doctors and editors who wished to set a new standard for independence and access to medical research.
On NOVEMBER 21, 2007, we will be celebrating the journal's remarkable success to date and raising awareness and support for this bold initiative.
