Call for Manuscripts - Interprofessional Education

Dear members of TGME, ASPE and IAMSE,

Medical Science Educator, the journal of the International Association of Medical Science Educators IAMSE, is planning to publish a journal supplement entirely dedicated to the topic “Interprofessional Education”. This special issue has been initiated during a panel discussion at the annual meeting of the Generalists in Medical Education in San Francisco in November 2012, where members of the three organizations discussed the issue in great detail.

We are currently soliciting article submissions on this topic and we welcome contributions in the format of Short Communication, Original Research, Monograph, Commentary or Opinion. See our website www.medicalscienceeducator.org for more detailed information on these formats. All submissions will be peer-reviewed in our regular review process. The issue will become publically available and will be published just before the 2013 Annual Meeting of the Generalists in Medical Education, Nov 1-2, 2013 in Philadelphia, PA (USA).

These are the deadlines for this call: • June 15, 2013: Deadline for submitting manuscripts to journal@iamse.org • August 16, 2013: Notification of preliminary acceptance or rejection • October 1, 2013: Final deadline for submitting revised manuscripts • October 28, 2013: Publication of the issue

Please see our journal website for Instructions for Authors! I look forward to receiving your submission.

I am happy to present to you a supplement issue of Medical Science Educator, entirely dedicated to basic science research projects for medical students. In this issue we present 14 examples of scientific training programs in medical schools from around the world. It provides us a nice overview of different situations and different approaches to address scientific training. The issue also publishes several abstracts of the 2013 Leiden International Medical Student Conference, one of the biggest student conferences in Europe on biomedical research.

I hope you will enjoy this issue and that you and your colleagues will consider publishing your own scholarly work in our Journal for the benefit of all our readers.
