Right! I have some really big news to tell you today. TheLancetStudent.com is now looking for medical students from around the world who are interested in:

 1) Being a regular BLOGGER on TheLancetStudent.com. This will mean that you can write the daily blog for a few days or so on a regular basis

2) Being a regular CONTRIBUTOR to TheLancetStudent.com. This means that just like most newspapers, or TV networks, you can be like our Correspondent in…Delhi, Dhaka, Denver, or where ever! You can keep us posted with what is  happening in your area and also write articles for us.

3) Being a regular REVIEWER (helping to review all of the submissions that come in). At the moment, me and some other Lancet editors read and review all of the articles that you send us, but we think it would be much better if medical students from around the world helped us to do this as that would be proper “peer” review.

Just a couple of things to note: First, don’t worry if you have never done any of the above before. We want all medical students everywhere to have a chance of being more involved with us so just email me at student@lancet.com if you are interested in any (or some or all) of these three areas and we can take it from there.

Second, if you don’t want to be a regular blogger, contributor or reviewer, you can still be involved whenever you have the time and inclination. You can post comment on the blogs, and published articles, or write an article, or suggest an idea for one whenever you want. And here is an added incentive. If we publish one of your articles, we will also give you FREE access to TheLancet.com (so you have access to ALL of The Lancet’s content) for one year.

So, please spread the word and I look forward to hearing from you soon—Rhona
