As Hispanic physicians and health professionals who care for Hispanic patients, we are committed to improving Hispanic health. If these words resonate with you, welcome. The Journal of the National Hispanic Medical Association (JNHMA) is for you. The JNHMA seeks to publish peer-reviewed articles that impact Hispanic health and looks forward to reviewing your contributions towards Hispanic health.
JNHMA is an open-access journal published on-line to support universal access. Articles are reviewed and published on an ongoing basis. The articles published may focus on clinical, educational, research, or community aspects of Hispanic health. It is our goal that the articles published within these virtual pages will advance knowledge to improve Hispanic health. We are intentionally not specialty specific. We acknowledge the importance of interprofessional
teams in optimizing care for our patient population. We are committed to intergenerational growth and mentorship, as an investment in our children’s future. We welcome studies across the full spectrum of clinical experience from health to illness and back. We encourage an understanding of translational research from bench to bedside and bedside to bench. We welcome insights from our communities that give real, on the ground perspective to scientific knowledge gained. We consider health and illness to include multiple factors, including but not limited to, biological, emotional, social, cultural, and economic. The work presented in the Journal is expansive. The focus is narrow: Hispanic health.
