Founding Members & Editorial Alumni

The International Journal of Medical Students (IJMS) was founded by a group of pioneering medical students who envisioned a global platform for student-led scientific publishing. Since then, IJMS has become the longest-standing, continuously publishing, peer-reviewed journal for medical students in the world.

Founding Members

  • Dr. Américo Peña-Oscuvilca
    Founding Editor-in-Chief (2010–2013)
    José F. Sanchez Carrión University, Peru
    As the first Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Peña-Oscuvilca led the creation of the journal’s editorial structure, peer-review process, and international collaborations. His leadership set the foundation for IJMS's global mission and high editorial standards.
  • Dr. Juliana Bonilla-Velez
    Deputy Editor (2010 & 2012 Cohorts)
    University of Valle, Colombia
    Dr. Bonilla-Velez was essential in shaping the journal’s early vision and fostering leadership development within the editorial team. She has gone on to become a physician-scientist and pediatric otolaryngologist in the U.S.
  • Dr. Christian Lopez-Castillo
    Scientific Editor (2010 Cohort)
    University of Quindío, Colombia
    Dr. Lopez-Castillo helped establish the journal’s initial scientific review framework and editorial policies, contributing to its long-term sustainability.

Editors-in-Chief

Since its founding, IJMS has had only three Editors-in-Chief, each serving multi-year terms that ensured continuity, mentorship, and long-term vision:

  1. Dr. Américo Peña-Oscuvilca, MD, MSc (2010–2012)
  2. Dr. Juliana Bonilla-Velez, MD, MSc (2013)
  3. Dr. Francisco J. Bonilla-Escobar, MD, MSc, PhD (2014–present)

Editorial Alumni

The IJMS editorial team is supported by a global network of alumni who have served as Student Editors, Associate Editors, and Executive Committee members. These individuals have gone on to pursue successful careers in medicine, research, and academia.
