The Innovations in Health Sciences Education Journal (IHSEJ) is a free online, open-access, peer-reviewed journal published by the Interprofessional Academy of Educators at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. IHSEJ publishes emerging research and pilot studies in the field of medical and health professions education. Our purpose is to provide a forum for pilot studies and developing work, particularly from graduate students and early-career scholars, in order to make it accessible to potential funders and other researchers who might be interested in collaborating on larger-scale studies that can contribute to best practices in health professions education.
