CICRP Editorial BoardChairperson - Lea Carlyle  |
The bilingual publication entitled Current Issues in Cardiac Rehabilitation and Prevention (CICRP) is written by CACR members for CACR members. Each issue translates current research into practice drawing upon the experiences of cardiac rehabilitation programs active in the area of each specific theme. We are currently recruiting an Editor and Associate Editors to join the team. There are 3 issues per year. Each CICRP is theme based and comprised of 3 - 5 feature articles, Program Profile, case studies, references, and Association news. The themes are determined a year in advance. Production is coordinated by the CACR office. The editorial team solicits articles and then edits them as necessary. We are looking for people with strong spelling and grammar skills. This would be an excellent opportunity for graduate students. |
