Mission Statement

There is evidence in the literature that juniors can learn a great deal from teaching their peers or near-peers. It gives them the opportunity to expand and consolidate existing knowledge. The writing process encourages juniors to develop editing, reviewing, and research skills that they may not have otherwise developed. Effective writing requires the ability to communicate thoughts in a clear and precise manner. It also requires good time management, prioritization, and commitment, and the structure of the publishing group gives juniors the opportunity to work in large, multidisciplinary teams that include non-medical professionals.

The time and the enthusiasm of juniors is an untapped resource for developing and diversifying the medical textbook library. This project aims to create an organization through which junior-led publishing can thrive, while ensuring accuracy is maintained with expert review. It has the capacity to expand, and we welcome juniors to approach us so that they can be part of the team.
