摘要:Why is there a need for a new journal in the field ofhealth professions education?The simple answer is that the field is expanding.The number of academics and educators interested inunderstanding what works in health professions edu-cation and why, increases. Existing journals turndown up to 90% of submissions and offer littleopportunity for young researchers and educators tomaster the craft of scientific publishing in closeinteraction with experienced reviewers. Health Profes-sions Education will therefore offer more extendededitorial support to young researchers than is possiblefor existing journals. We encourage beginning authorsto start submitting their work to our journal.
