Abstract

We are pleased to bring you the Journal of General Internal Medicine 2008 Education Issue. Over the past several months we have had the privilege of reviewing 133 submitted manuscripts in order to select these 41 for publication. This has challenged us to reflect on improving and standardizing our approach to education manuscripts. In this issue, Reed et al.1 report on the methodological quality of the submitted manuscripts, and Cook et al.2 provide much needed guidance for the future. We hope this special issue will engage the JGIM readership and members of the education community in discourse and in this way advance our collective notion of quality in medical education scholarship. In this overview, we briefly summarize the themes explored in the 41 articles and 4 editorials that we, along with the many peer reviewers who participated, selected. Working on this issue has led us to ask many interesting questions about the state of medical education research and scholarship.
