2010 Gold Award: West Virginia Medical Journal

Scholarly / Technical / Scientific Journal – Organization budget up to $1-million

Judge’s Comments: A triumph of design for a single color journal!  I like the length of the articles and the tone; many medical journals can be overly scholarly and long, but this journal seems to find a nice middle-ground balance without compromising quality of content.  I also found the commentary by president Carlos Jimenez very interesting.
