Early Career Scholarship - Call for Papers

There is a large volume of research and scholarship conducted every year under the auspices of masters programs in health professions education. Much of this work struggles to find a platform in the clinical education community and for many reasons does not make it to dissemination and publication. The aim of this recurring special issue from The Clinical Teacher is to provide students of postgraduate health profession education programs (in all their varied forms) with a platform to share their work. These issues aim to showcase work that, while potentially smaller in scale, is rigorously conducted, methodologically sound and has potential to be developed into a larger-scale research study.

Papers submitted to this issue should be based on work that has been undertaken as part of a successfully completed (and assessed) masters project; manuscripts must conform to the author guidelines for each article type, and we welcome papers in all article types in this issue. For more information about submitting a paper to The Clinical Teacher's special issue, click here. The submission deadline is May 29, 2023.
