From the Managing Editor
 

Welcome to Volume 5 Number 1 of the Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice.

 

During my recent sponsored trip to Australia to work with the Centre for Allied Health Evidence and the University of South Australia, I had the good fortune to spend most of my time with an outstanding group of allied health researchers (pictured below). This group is grant-funded and works in conjunction with the University of South Australia and the Joanna Briggs Institute, which many of you will know is a world-wide organization dedicated to evidence based practice. I have asked that they provide systematic reviews on topics of interest to the allied health community through the mentorship and leadership of Dr. Karen Grimmer-Somers. Karen will head up this section with a commentary each quarter and will introduce these systematic reviews. We will include at least one systematic review in each issue beginning with Volume 5 Number 2. To this group, I thank you for your hospitality and for sharing your knowledge.

As requested, I have included the third installment of my preceptor education series. In this installment, I will discuss clinical teaching. Once again, thank you for visiting, reading, and submitting material to the IJAHSP.
