Advancing Research Through Early-Career Scientists’ Publications and Training the Next Generation of Medical Editors: The First 10-Years of the International Journal of Medical Students

Global Needs and Barriers for Medical Research Education: Initiatives to Solve the Physician-Scientists Shortage

“…The nourishing soil for this successful history is founded on integrity and the will to develop a new generation of editors and scientists. 16 Training via the Web of Science Academy and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) courses constitutes the backbone of the Journal and is mandatory for the whole Editorial Team, which also underlines the objective of the IJMS: to be the leading platform for early-career scientists' medical research. The generations of physician-scientists that have been part of IJMS are highlighted on our Alumni website section: https://ijms.info/IJMS/about/editorialTeam/alumni…”

The Silent Casualties: War's Impact on Medical Students and Medical Education

“…52 In order to keep up with the latest advances in medicine, medical education must make appeal to newer strategies of teaching and evaluation and evolve from traditional methods to studentcentered and patient-centered education, involving students in research and clinical clerkships, encouraging dissemination of knowledge and participation in congresses and conferences, grant writing or organization of scientific events. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Spaced repetition has been hypothesized to improve medical students' performances in exams. 53 Cooper et al investigate the impact of spaced repetition on medical students' performance at the medical board exam, revealing that despite the fact that medical students who did not use the Anki platform had higher GPAs those who did use the platform failed Step 1 Exam in a lesser percentage and scored higher on the USMLE Step 1 and COMPLEX exams.…”
