Articles for submission should demonstrate innovations or improvements in this field that meaningfully contribute to the advancement of curricular teaching or practice, assessment and evaluation, collaborative care models, and/or an understanding of team dynamics as it relates to healthcare delivery and outcomes.

To successfully support publication in an open access journal, CJCPE requires the submitting author agree to payment that covers the publication costs. Article publication costs typically range from $250-400 with a discount offered to current students (with verification). Once the article has been accepted and enters the production cycle the author will be supplied with the publication charge. When the author approves the final proof of the article, payment will be requested. Secure payment will be collected through an online service. Prompt payment is advised, as successful payment is necessary before the article will be published online.
