Abstract

The International Journal of Medical Students (IJMS) is proud to present Volume 12, Issue 3, highlighting innovative research across various medical disciplines. This issue underscores the journal's commitment to fostering medical education and advancing healthcare. Featured articles explore critical areas, including narrative medicine's role in reducing burnout, stress management among medical students, and the long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer referrals and treatment decisions. Public health concerns such as antimicrobial resistance and access to syphilis screening in vulnerable populations are also examined. Additionally, this edition includes insightful reviews on pediatric allergy consultations and the utility of ultrasound in anatomical dissection courses. Case reports on rare medical conditions, reflections on global surgical electives, and personal experiences in overcoming research challenges further enrich the content. To complement this issue, the IJMS announces the 2024 World Conference on Medical Student Research (WCMSR), taking place on October 26, 2024, with participants from over 40 countries. This event promises to be a valuable platform for showcasing the best global research, fostering discussion, and inspiring the next generation of medical professionals.
