Summary
Letters to the Editor offer a way for readers to engage with authors on their publications and add valuable insights into the discussion. Letters are the shortest manuscript for medical students to publish and medical education journals are best suited for this. The UK Foundation Programme rewards medical students for achieving publications with a PubMed ID. The aim of the study is to analyse the total number, percentage, and affiliation of Letters to the Editor published by medical students in medical education journals
