Contributing to The Bridge

We want you to get involved in The Bridge

The main purpose of The Bridge, and our Research Digests, is knowledge dissemination. They will be of particular interest to postgraduate students, trainees, early career researchers, and those in clinical practice.

There are a host of opportunities that are available to help us with this task, including: blogging, writing research digests of scientific papers, joining our advisory panel, and more.

If you are interested email TheBridge@acamh.org for more details.
