‘Clinideas’ and ‘Clinitoons’
APICARE intends to start two new permanent chapters from the December 2012 issue;
1. ‘Clinideas’: Brief reports by the readers and the scholars about new / novel ideas, which may have some day struck to their minds, for the betterment of the clinical practice in anesthesiology, pain management, intensive care and resuscitation, or the betterment of the scholars and clinicians involved in these specialties.
2. ‘Clinitoons’: Amature cartoons related to the clinical practice in anesthesiology, pain management, intensive care and resuscitation, or the scholars, clinicians and staff involved in these specialties. Patient-doctor and anesthesiologist-surgeon relationships offer best opportunities for drawing some of the most favourite cartoons.
APICARE pledges to offer cash prizes and / or honorary subscriptions of the journal to the winners of separate competitions in both categories.
Entries may be submitted via our website www.apicareonline.com or directly to editorial office at apicjournal@gmail.com.
