2026-04-28

Dear IJMS Readers,

The latest issue of the International Journal of Medical Students is now available: Volume 14, Issue 1 (2026).

This release brings together a diverse set of contributions from medical students and early-career researchers across multiple regions, with a consistent emphasis on practical impact, academic development, and global collaboration.

The issue opens with an editorial on the evolving role of IJMS and the World Conference of Medical Student Research 2026, outlining how both platforms are being aligned to strengthen research training, expand access, and support international academic exchange.

The original research section covers topics with direct clinical and educational relevance, including:

Interventions to reduce no-show rates in pediatric telehealth programs
Immune-related dermatologic adverse events associated with checkpoint inhibitors
Occupational exposure and anxiety among medical students
The role of mentorship in shaping medical education in low-resource settings

In addition, the issue includes experience-based contributions that address real-world academic pathways, advocacy initiatives, and early involvement in evidence synthesis, along with a letter to the editor and an erratum to ensure transparency and accuracy in the scientific record.

This issue reflects a continued effort to position IJMS not only as a publication venue, but as a structured academic ecosystem supporting training, dissemination, and collaboration.

The full issue is available online and can be accessed directly through the IJMS website.
