#MedMastodon and #MedEd folks, I need your help: What journal do you see a dual research/advocacy paper like the one below being published?
I have a bunch of medical students and mentors who quantified (lack of) #LGBTQIA representation in preclerkship medical education curricula and also 3 ongoing years of IRB-approved incoming student surveys about gender identity, sexual orientation, attitudes, career choices, and knowledge about LGBTQIA+ health topics. Along with recorded advocacy efforts and a whole booklet of inclusion suggestions made to block directors.
The overall intent of this paper is to make it easier for other students to follow and repeat at their institutions and track over time how increased inclusion may alter student knowledge after they finish preclerkship and move on to clinical years.
Where should this live? Would it be better of as 2 papers (student surveys separate from curriculum)?
@Britt It seems like material for a letter or a short views paper in a very specialized medical journal. It probably won't hurt to mail an editor from a big one to get feedback.
