BMC Medical Education is calling for submissions to its Collection on Simulation and e-learning in healthcare. Simulation and e-learning (electronic learning) have revolutionized medical education, offering innovative and flexible learning opportunities for students, trainees, educators, and practitioners. The integration of technology in medical education has transformed traditional teaching methods, providing interactive simulations, virtual patient encounters, and e-learning resources. This shift has not only enhanced accessibility to education but has also facilitated continuous professional development for healthcare professionals. As the landscape of medical education continues to evolve, it is essential to explore the impact, effectiveness, and future potential of simulation and e-learning in this field. Advancing our collective understanding of simulation and e-learning in medical education is crucial to harness the full potential of technology for learning and skill development. Significant progress has been made in evaluating the efficacy of e-learning platforms and pedagogies, understanding learner engagement, and exploring the integration of virtual reality and simulation in medical training. Moreover, research has highlighted the importance of adaptive learning systems and the role of e-learning in promoting lifelong learning among healthcare professionals. Continued research in this holds the promise of further innovations in e-learning platforms, personalized learning experiences, and the integration of artificial intelligence for adaptive learning. Additionally, the exploration of best practices for e-assessment and the impact of e-learning on clinical outcomes will contribute to shaping the future of medical education. This Collection seeks to explore the multifaceted dimensions of simulation and e-learning in healthcare education, spanning a wide range of topics including but not limited to: Efficacy of e-learning platforms and pedagogies in healthcare education Learner and teacher engagement in e-learning environments, specifically explored beyond trainee's perceived satisfaction Integration of simulation and artificial intelligence in medical training Adaptive and personalized learning systems in healthcare education Best practices for assessment in medical e-learning Impact of e-learning on clinical outcomes in healthcare Use of e-learning for continuous professional development Accessibility and equity in e-learning for health professions education This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being and SDG 4: Quality Education.

BMC Medical Education is calling for submissions to its Collection on Educational psychology. This Collection aims to explore the dynamic interplay between psychology and education within health professions training, shedding light on the psychological principles that underpin effective teaching and learning in the medical field. Educational psychology is the bedrock of understanding how students absorb, process, and retain knowledge. In the context of medical education, these insights are crucial for developing innovative teaching methods, enhancing learner engagement, and ultimately improving patient care outcomes. We invite scholars, educators, and practitioners to submit contributions that delve into the psychological aspects of medical education. Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Cognitive Processes in Learning: Investigations into how medical students process and retain complex information, and the cognitive strategies that can enhance their learning experiences. Motivation and Engagement: Studies exploring what drives medical students to excel, and the interventions that can sustain their motivation and engagement throughout their education. Assessment and Evaluation: Research on the psychological impacts of various assessment methods and how they can be designed to better support learning and professional development. Emotional and Social Aspects: Insights into the emotional challenges faced by medical students, such as stress and burnout, and the social dynamics within medical training environments. Technology and Innovation: The role of technology in shaping educational practices, including the psychological effects of virtual and augmented reality, simulation-based learning, and other digital tools. Teaching Strategies and Curriculum Design: Analyses of effective teaching methodologies and curriculum designs informed by psychological theories, and their impact on learning outcomes. We are particularly interested in contributions that bridge theory and practice, offering actionable insights for educators and policy-makers. Submissions that incorporate interdisciplinary approaches and diverse perspectives are highly encouraged. This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being and SDG 4: Quality Education.
