Two papers on mental health are featured in this issue of Education for Health, one from Myanmar and the other from the United States. In Myanmar, the authors share their experiences supporting health workers in the conflict zones. In the US, a first aid program for people suffering from mental health issues is discussed. Women's health is highlighted in two papers - one focused on an innovative teaching program on IUD insertion using pre-recorded videos (Uganda), and another about teaching emergency medical technicians' knowledge and skills needed to assist with a normal vaginal delivery (India). Other topics in this issue include professional identify formation of public health trainees (India), development of an interprofessional curriculum for age-friendly care (US), and perceptions of standard setting (Myanmar). We also feature papers on simulation for radiology education and another for pediatric lumbar puncture, both from India. Finally, three papers related to medical trainees - one on the pipeline of pre-medical students into medical school (US), one on the challenges facing Black students (US), and another on the development of two-year internship curriculum (Egypt).
Authors in this issue continue to come from a diverse range of countries, with a strong showing by countries often underrepresented in the literature. We look forward to hearing from authors everywhere. When English is not your first language, try to work with a native speaker to polish the text. Our first-rate copyeditor will take it from there.
