Call for Manuscripts - Special Issue of MedSciEdu

Dear medical educators,

Medical Science Educator, the journal of the International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE), will publish in March 2011 a journal supplement entirely dedicated to basic science research projects for medical students. The issue will also publish the top-50 best abstracts of the 7th LIMSC International Conference on Student Research to be held in the Netherlands.

We are actively soliciting articles on the topic "(bio)medical research projects in the medical school curriculum". We like to learn more on how science research projects are incorporated into medical curricula around the world. Descriptive as well as research studies are welcome.

Please note that at this moment we are looking for IDEAS that you would like to personally prepare a manuscript for. From all the ideas received, we will select about 4 to 6 of which the submitter will be invited to submit a manuscripts to be reviewed.

These are the deadlines for this call:

October 1, 2010: Deadline for submitting ideas to journal@iamse.org
October 15, 2010: Selected authors will be invited to submit a manuscript
December 3, 2010: Deadline for submitting the manuscript
March 2011: Publication of the issue

Looking forward to your ideas.
