Galicia Clínica - Official Journal of the SOGAMI
Galicia Clínica is the journal of the Galician Society of Internal Medicine. Its mission is to inform the scientific community, especially in the area of healthcare, of the research work conducted by medical specialists, promoting research activities, healthcare training, mutual knowledge and collaboration amongst professionals.
A NEW STAGE
Coinciding with the National Congress of Internal Medicine which was held in A Coruña in November 2008, Galicia Clínica began a new stage. A year earlier the Galician Society of Internal Medicine had acquired leadership of the journal and from there, a large-scale renovation was carried out in order to modernise its contents and presentation so that it constituted an effective aid in high-quality decision making at the point of patient care. A new structure was created, with new sections, the number of collaborators was expanded and the journal has been provided with convenient web support.
We believe it is necessary to change and take advantage of new opportunities in order to improve. That doesn't mean one has to forget the past. Quite the opposite. The journal was created and has persisted, with outstanding levels of quality and acceptance, for 80 years thanks to the extraordinary work of its founders and a high number of Galician doctors. We must express our admiration and respect for their work. Hopefully we can maintain their level of delivery and dedication for many more years.
We would like to point out that even though the journal is coordinated by a medical specialist, its contents are dedicated, as has always been the case, in service of Medicine in Galicia. Its pages are open to all because only together we will be able to offer Galicia well-trained professionals practising quality medical care.
