To the Editor, Acknowledging that a life of learning is without end, we might assume that a doctor will amass a body of knowledge and experience sufficient to publish. The timing of such an undertaking is debatable with some believing that medical textbooks published by junior doctors or medical students is a step too far
How can junior-led publishing be postulated as a good idea? What could possibly convince juniors to rise to this challenge? Medical textbooks have traditionally taken a paternalistic approach, written by senior clinicians for the benefit of juniors
Summary
Considering the existing evidence showing juniors to be effective clinical teachers, we hypothesize that similar advantages could be transferrable to juniors writing and contributing to textbook chapters as well as to students as readers of junior led publications. By participating in textbook production and publication, juniors stand to consolidate their medical knowledge, but to reinforce and develop their role as educators early in their medical careers.
