Authors of articles accepted for publication in Annals of Global Health will be asked to pay an Article Publication Charge (APC) to cover publication costs. This charge can normally be sourced from your funder or institution. We are committed to supporting authors from all countries to publish their work in Annals of Global Health regardless of national income level, and to achieve this goal, we waive the Article Publication Charge for manuscripts where all authors are from low-income or lower-middle-income countries (as defined by the World Bank). From time to time, Annals of Global Health publishes Special Collections, a series of articles organized around a common theme in global health. Recent Special Collections have included “Strengthening Women’s Leadership in Global Health”, “Decolonizing Global Health Education”, and “Capacity Building for Global Health Leadership Training”. Global health workers interested in developing a Special Collection are strongly encouraged to contact the Managing Editor in advance to discuss the project.
Highlights
Global Minimum Essential Requirements (GMER) indicated critical thinking is an essential competency a medical graduate should possess
Significant differences were found among years of school attended, GPA, time spent learning after class, medical students’ attitude toward medicine, desire to be a doctor after graduation, and perception of critical thinking
Interpretation: Even though Chinese medical students demonstrate a positive disposition for critical thinking in general, there is a disparity between urban and rural medical students
Summary
Cessation clinics are needed to help smokers who desire to quit. Increased awareness on the dangers of smoking and the use of alternative culturally significant products should replace tobacco products currently being used as cultural artefacts in some parts of Southern Nigeria. Examine the critical thinking capabilities of Chinese urban and rural medical students. A.P.
