Aims & Scope

Aims

International Medical Education (ISSN 2813-141X) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original theoretical and empirical work encompassing all aspects of international medical education.

The aim of International Medical Education is to provide an open platform for the creation of an international community of scholars, medical educators, learners, policy-making organs and researchers that addresses all aspects of current and innovative medical educational programs and addresses the internationalization of medical education as a whole.

International Medical Education publishes original research articles, reviews, opinions and other article types. Computed data or files that are unable to be published in the traditional way can be deposited as supplementary material. Scholars can take advantage of the variety of media made available by electronic publishing, including the use of audio, video, complex or dynamic graphic displays, interactive sessions, performances, and other means to enhance the communication of scholarly work. Features may be presented as a single article or in serial form. There is no restriction on the maximum length of papers. However, authors are encouraged to write in a clear and concise manner, providing additional details in supplementary files where necessary. Please ensure that full experimental details are included to allow for the reproducibility of results.
