Abstract
MedEdPublish (ISSN 2312–7996) is a highly visible, open access, specialist practitioner e-journal that enables academics, teachers, clinicians, researchers and students to publish their experiences, views and research findings relating to teaching, learning and assessment in medical and health professions education. An innovative and key feature of MedEdPublish is that the peer review process begins following publication.

As an intercalating medical education student armed with pedagogical knowledge in one hand and the medical student experience in the other, I have come to question the effectiveness of current teaching on reflection in meeting the demands of tomorrow’s patients
Summary
Reflection is defined as a goal-oriented process in which the aim is to critically inquire, evaluate and re-examine practice (Barrett, Kajamaa and Johnston, 2020). The proposed approach utilises the pedagogical value of social media and builds upon the burgeoning social awareness of the latest generation of medical students to incite actionable change. It is suspected that by offering a more timely, challenging, and engaging learning experience, students will begin to understand the necessity of personal introspection, and the duty they have in the delivery of equitable healthcare.
