Introduced to the world in November of 1999,<span><sup>1</sup></span> RGS was published annually for 3 years before its early success led to it becoming a bi-annual celebration of the insights gained through innovations in educational practice. Those were the early days of online submissions, a time when author guidelines were still available by fax<span><sup>1</sup></span> and when print copies were the norm in academic journals. The year 1999 was also a year in which the journal received a total of 393 submissions. To create a vibrant RGS section, as a result, it was necessary to aggregate papers over the course of 12 (eventually declining to 6) months.</p><p>How times have changed. Fifty-four days into 2025, the journal reached the same number of submissions as were received in the entirety of the year RGS began. In 2024, the 393 total submissions of 1999 were nearly eclipsed by the number of submissions to RGS alone. To keep up, we started publishing ‘Extra Really Good Stuff’ 2.5 years ago.<span><sup>2</sup></span> There is enough inflow now, however, to warrant and allow even more routine (i.e., monthly) publication of this section.</p><p>The main advantages to our authors of evolving RGS to a monthly publication schedule are two-fold: No longer will they have to wait for a specific date to pass before peer review will start in full. Rather, submissions will be received, reviewed and published on a rolling basis (i.e. with no set deadline), effective immediately. Further, by ending the bi-annual publication practice, we will create more opportunity for authors to strengthen their submissions by virtue of having time to allow revisions that account for the feedback provided during peer review. We will no longer, in other words, be so constrained by biannual production deadlines that decisions need to be dichotomous (publish or not). We hope this change will allow readers and authors to discover and create more RGS that, previously, was not competitive for publication.</p><p>For our readers, we will continue to do our best to prioritise publication of the ‘really great’ submissions (i.e. those that go beyond descriptive demonstrations of success to share genuine insight regarding what was learned from the experience).<span><sup>3</sup></span> We will also continue to do our best to contextualise what is ‘really great’ by recognising that new insight can be gained by examining established practices in novel settings.<span><sup>2</sup></span></p><p>To enable these changes, we have established an RGS Peer Review panel, consisting of health professional educators from around the globe, who have agreed to offer five reviews of 500-word RGS submissions per year.

The main objectives were to demonstrate how the arts complement traditional practices, illustrate the role of arts in medicine, share how to access these resources and highlight how physicians integrate arts in medicine into their clinical practice and own wellbeing.</p><p>The 3-day, 4-week elective, offered in both Spring and Fall of 2023, focused on music, drama, visual art and creative writing arts in medicine initiatives. Each day, students attended a morning didactic on arts in medicine approaches and techniques related to each arts modality. The afternoons offered an applied clinical exposure out in the community where students could observe or personally apply the learned techniques with different clinical populations, for example, music for Alzheimer's patients, drama for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities or creative writing to promote cognitive fitness within healthy ageing seniors. Students created a final art deliverable using a modality of their choosing to highlight their experiences throughout the course.</p><p>The elective provided an opportunity to interact with medically vulnerable populations as whole people. Students appreciated having time with community members that represented groups they previously received limited exposure to, particularly persons with Down Syndrome and other exceptionalities. Students reported increased feelings of connection and empathy for patients in formal post-course evaluation and in informal feedback. The elective was successful in exposing students to the use of therapeutic creative arts practices and credentialed creative arts professions. Students gained familiarity with arts resources in hospitals or community systems they may encounter during residency. The students acquired valuable skills in how to use the tools/skills taught to benefit their personal wellness, a major issue for medical learners.</p><p>Key to this programme was collaborating with a community arts organisation to build the elective and plan the weekly experiential learning opportunities. However, because the course was highly experiential and took place within a community context, participation was limited to those who were willing to stay local, which impacted overall enrollment. This execution required grant dollars to launch, and so establishing a plan for long-term sustainability past the initial ‘pilot’ is necessary.
