New Reviewer Mentorship Program Participants and Editor-in-Training

November 22, 2023

The Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal (CARJ) and CAR are thrilled to welcome two new participants to this year’s Reviewer Mentorship Program and a new Editor-in-Training!

Reviewer Mentorship Program

Dr. Sarah Chibane is a radiology resident at McGill University. A graduate of the Medicine Preparatory Program, she also obtained her medical degree from McGill.

"I find it awesome that the staff radiologists who I look up to are taking the time to guide their future colleagues through the backstage wonders of research publication,” said Dr. Chibane. “I am honoured to be selected and I look forward to being a part of the Reviewer Mentorship Program!"

Dr. Chibane will be working with mentor Dr. Matthew McInnes. She has a special interest in medical education and global health.

Dr. Jason Yao is a third-year radiology resident at McMaster University. He obtained his undergraduate degree in Biology and Computer Science at McGill University and medical degree from the University of Ottawa. Alongside his residency, he is currently pursuing a Masters of Biomedical Innovation at McMaster University.

“I look forward to contributing to the editorial team and learning more about the peer review process,” said Dr. Yao.

His interests include interventional radiology and artificial intelligence applications. Dr. Yao will be working with mentor Dr. Sebastian Mafeld.

Both mentees will work closely with their mentors to master the two major tenets of peer review: evaluating the quality of the study design (i.e.,  are there significant sources of bias) and the completeness of reporting (i.e.,  have all data been presented to allow readers to determine bias and generalizability). This is an exciting opportunity to become proficient peer reviewer.

Editor-in-Training

Congratulations is also extended to the new Editor-in-Training, Dr. Karl Narvacan! This program provides a unique opportunity to bring a resident’s perspective to the CARJ to inform its future initiatives.

Dr. Narvacan is a radiology resident at the University of Toronto and has a wide variety of interests, including neuroradiology, musculoskeletal imaging, and medical education.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to be the CARJ Editor-in-Training for this year. I look forward to working with Dr. Patlas and the CARJ team to learn about editorship within an academic publication in radiology,” said Dr. Narvacan. “In addition, I hope to encourage other resident colleagues to learn more about CARJ and consider publishing their own work with the journal.”

He will work closely with Editor-in-Chief Dr. Michael Patlas to learn more about the peer review and scientific publication process. He will also be mentored by Dr. Bruce Forster.

Congratulations to all three participants for being selected and we are grateful for your dedication!
