Submission Deadline: 8:00 am CT, Tuesday, October 14, 2025
The Journal of Graduate Medical Education (JGME) is seeking novel graduate medical education (GME) interventions or assessments that have been implemented at least once and appear successful in preliminary evaluations. These interventions can be an innovation in curricula, teaching, assessment, quality and safety, program evaluation, supervision, faculty development, or other topics relevant to GME (eg, transitions to GME, transitions to practice). We particularly encourage submissions highlighting climate and planetary health related initiatives in GME.
Selected papers will be published in the June 2026 issue of JGME.
This call is for all authors involved in graduate medical education including international authors.
Criteria
New Ideas must describe an intervention that is novel—not just locally but to GME broadly.
The intervention must have been implemented at least once; longer implementation is preferable.
While outcomes data may be preliminary, it must be included; feasibility (effort, costs) and acceptability (to subjects) must be discussed.
Preliminary evidence should suggest that the intervention is successful.
Replication of the idea in other specialties is explained.
New Ideas Manuscript Format
Must be no more than 600 words, including up to 2 references.
Must be organized into 3 parts: Setting and Problem, Intervention (the “New Idea”), and Outcomes to Date.
May include 1 figure or table consistent with JGME Instructions for Authors (do not include multiple figures/tables in one figure/table).
No supplementary materials are allowed.
Must be submitted via the online editorial management system [in abstract section put NA] (https://www.editorialmanager.com/jgme) by 8:00 am CT, Tuesday, October 14, 2025.
Permission: By submitting your new idea to JGME you are granting permission for JGME to explore how artificial intelligence reviews compare to human reviewer judgements and to share/disseminate our findings with no individual submission identifiers.
Acceptance decisions will be communicated by Friday, January 30, 2026. NOTE: Due to the brevity of these submissions, manuscripts that are not accepted will not receive editor comments. Manuscripts not following the required submission format and/or submission deadline will not be considered.
