About the Journal

Health Professions Education represents a cornerstone concept that not only encompasses all facets of medical education but also extends across the entire spectrum of educational experiences for medical students, residents, physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. Amidst the third wave of medical education reform, there's an emerging call for interdisciplinary integration and collaboration to align with contemporary clinical advancements. The mission of Health Professions Education and Research (HPER) is to foster communication and collaboration among healthcare practitioners, educators, administrative staff, related technicians, and graduate students, thereby catalyzing the evolution of health professions education both within China and internationally, and providing valuable research outcomes for the broader healthcare community.
