Abstract
Where does the time go?! As we move into the latter parts of 2025, another great meeting of the Association for the Study of Medical Education brings the announcement of our annual award winners. I am thrilled, as a result, to again share news about groups that made particularly strong contributions to Medical Education this past year. Of course, these individuals are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the many to whom we are grateful for enabling such a stimulating field of scholarship, but these successes stood out.
Harrison C Lucas, Jeffrey S Upperman and Jamie R Robinson received the Silver Quill Award, granted annually to the article that is downloaded most often, for their paper entitled A systematic review of large language models and their implications in medical education.1 The Henry Walton Prize, similarly awarded for Really Good Stuff papers, went to Billy Ho Hung Cheung, Calvin Cheung, Jason Chan, Emmanuel Chun Ka Wong, Joshua Wing Kei Ho and Kui Kai Gary Lau for their work entitled Synergy and collaboration with young educators and students: Insights from an open forum on generative artificial intelligence in medical education.2 I suppose it is no surprise that Artificial Intelligence appears to have been the topic of the year, but seeing those two winners suggests this to be a useful moment to draw attention to the journal's perspective, summarised at the bottom of the Author Guidelines at mededuc.com, for those who have not already seen it.3
Moving from artificial to real intelligence, we were again fortunate to derive insight from the dedication and wisdom of over 850 peer reviewers.4, 5 For lifetime contributions, the Peer Reviewer Hall of Fame at mededuc.com has been updated. For the past year, we offered Choice Critics Awards to a few individuals who were especially active and influential. This year's winners are Danette McKinley (National Conference of Bar Examiners, US), Jill Morrison (University of Glasgow, Scotland), Ligia Ribeiro (University Medical Centre Groningen, the Netherlands), Megan Brown (Imperial College London, England) and Stuart Pattinson (University of Witwatersrand, South Africa). Honorary mention also goes out to the dozens of people who have signed onto the Really Good Stuff (RGS) reviewer panel, enabling RGS to now be published monthly rather than bi-annually.6
I am personally excited to have the opportunity to work with the 13th cohort of editorial interns: Takedza Munangatire (University of Namibia, Namibia), Marwa Schumann (Charité University of Medicine, Germany) and You You (Peking University, China). In exchange for our editors going beyond the call of duty to support interns to develop their understanding of journal operations, we annually ask them to pay forward, into their home regions, whatever insights they gain. So, we encourage you to reach out to any alumni from the programme (see mededuc.com) if you desire further guidance. You can also connect directly with the editors for advice by using the ‘Ask Us Anything’ link on the same website.
And, last but not least, we are delighted to announce that Madawa Chandratilake from the University of Kelaniya in Sri Lanka is this year's recipient of the Medical Education Developing Scholarship Award. He will be working with colleagues to develop a project entitled ‘Strengthening national capacity for health professions education research in Sri Lanka: A strategic collaborative initiative’ that we greatly look forward to seeing succeed.
While we celebrate ‘the tip of the iceberg’, congratulations and thanks to all who continue to take Medical Education, and the field of health professional education more generally, from strength to strength.
时间都去哪儿了?!随着我们进入2025年下半年,医学教育研究协会的另一次重要会议宣布了我们的年度获奖者。因此,我很高兴能再次分享在过去一年中对医学教育做出特别重大贡献的团体的消息。当然,这些人只是冰山一角,我们感谢他们为这样一个令人兴奋的学术领域提供了机会,但这些成功的人脱颖而出。哈里森·C·卢卡斯、杰弗里·S·厄珀曼和杰米·R·罗宾逊获得了银羽毛笔奖,该奖每年颁发给下载次数最多的文章,以表彰他们发表的题为《大型语言模型及其在医学教育中的意义的系统回顾》的论文亨利·沃尔顿奖(Henry Walton Prize),同样颁发给“真正的好东西”的论文,颁给了Billy Ho Hung b张、Calvin b张、Jason Chan、Emmanuel Chun Ka Wong、Joshua Wing Kei Ho和Kui Kai Gary Lau,以表彰他们的论文《与青年教育工作者和学生的协同与合作:医学教育中生成式人工智能的公开论坛的见解》我想,人工智能似乎是今年的主题并不奇怪,但看到这两位获奖者,表明这是一个有用的时刻,让人们注意到该杂志的观点,总结在mededuc.com的作者指南底部,对于那些还没有看到它的人来说。从人工智能到真正的智能,我们再次幸运地从850多名同行评审的奉献和智慧中获得了洞察力。对于终身贡献,mededuc.com上的同行评议名人堂已经更新。在过去的一年里,我们向一些特别活跃和有影响力的人颁发了选择评论家奖。今年的获奖者是Danette McKinley(美国全国律师考试协会)、Jill Morrison(苏格兰格拉斯哥大学)、Ligia Ribeiro(荷兰格罗宁根大学医学中心)、Megan Brown(英国伦敦帝国理工学院)和Stuart Pattinson(南非威特沃特斯兰德大学)。荣誉提名奖也要颁给那些签署了RGS (Really Good Stuff)评审小组的人,他们使得RGS现在可以每月出版一次,而不是每两年出版一次。我个人很高兴有机会与第13批编辑实习生共事:Takedza Munangatire(纳米比亚大学)、Marwa Schumann(德国慈善医学大学)和You You(中国北京大学)。为了让我们的编辑超越职责范围,支持实习生发展他们对期刊运营的理解,我们每年都要求他们将他们获得的任何见解带到他们的家乡。因此,如果你需要进一步的指导,我们鼓励你联系任何参加过这个项目的校友(请访问mededuc.com)。你也可以通过同一网站上的“Ask Us Anything”链接直接与编辑联系,寻求建议。最后但并非最不重要的是,我们高兴地宣布,来自斯里兰卡克拉尼亚大学的Madawa Chandratilake是今年医学教育发展奖学金的获得者。他将与同事们共同制定一个题为“加强斯里兰卡卫生专业教育研究的国家能力:一项战略合作倡议”的项目,我们非常期待看到该项目取得成功。在我们庆祝“冰山一角”的同时,祝贺并感谢所有继续接受医学教育的人,以及更广泛的卫生专业教育领域的人,越来越强大。
