Vol. 9 No. 1 (2026)
Prof Kichu Nair, Editor-in-chair
Welcome to the 9th Volume of the Health Education in Practice: Journal of Research for Professional Learning (HEPJ).
We maintain the continuous publication model introduced in volume 7, as it has allowed us to achieve our commitment to increase the Journal's visibility and expedite its dissemination, with articles published as soon as they undergo our rigorous peer review and production process.
By eliminating the need to wait for a predetermined number of articles to form a volume, we aim to provide authors with a shorter turnaround submission to publication time and, consequently, increase the likelihood of timely citations.
I am pleased to open this volume with two articles. In medical practice, reflection drives education and professional development. Reflection is a major component of quality improvement of work practices too. Simon Craig and Kae Wong tried a new tool for self-reflection, which trainees and supervisors found to be very useful for professional development.
The paper from Guberman et al explored the student and supervisor perspectives of student-led group rehabilitation programs. This study highlights the value of early clinical exposure, immersive learning and peer support.
I hope you enjoy reading our journal and I look forward to sharing more papers in this volume in the coming months.
