About
The Graduate Medical Scholars Journal (GMSJ) is a student-led publication dedicated to highlighting the research, insights, and perspectives of medical students. Designed as a platform for students to actively engage in academic publishing, GMSJ provides valuable experience in research dissemination, peer review, and scholarly writing—skills essential for careers in academic medicine.
GMSJ publishes original research, case reports, reviews, opinion pieces, and more, fostering professional growth and the development of critical appraisal and editorial skills. Each submission undergoes a three-stage review process, with medical students conducting primary and secondary reviews, followed by a final faculty review by attending physicians, PhDs, and residents to uphold academic integrity.
Our Mission
The Graduate Medical Scholars Journal (GMSJ) is a student-led, peer-reviewed publication committed to showcasing the research and scholarly work of medical trainees. Our mission is to foster academic excellence, promote original research, and provide early opportunities for students to engage in the peer review and publication process. Through mentorship, collaboration, and rigorous standards, we aim to advance medical education and support the next generation of physician-scholars.
