Professional Identity Development
"Professional identity development is a recurring and adaptive process; personal identity that is constructed by one’s internal values and morals molds and projects into the formation of the professional self, which encompasses role expectations and professional ethics. For medical education, facilitating the strengthening of physician identity and internalizing physician values bring confidence into clinical practice and creates humanistic, compassionate, and ethical physicians" (Ruan B, Yilmaz Y, Lu D, Lee M, Chan TM. Defining the Digital Self: A Qualitative Study to Explore the Digital Component of Professional Identity in the Health Professions. J Med Internet Res 2020;22(9):e21416 URL: http://www.jmir.org/2020/9/e21416/)

Peer-Learning in Medical and Health Education
Peer learning is defined as “people from similar social groupings, who are not professional teachers, helping each other learn, and by so doing, learning themselves” (Topping K. Peer-Assisted Learning First Edition. New Jersey: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates Publishers; 2009)
Discretionary Corrigenda
For corrigenda that are discretionary and a result of author-oversight (e.g. corrections in the affiliation etc) we charge a $190 processing fee to make changes in the original paper and publish an erratum.Please submit a correction statement (text similar to http://www.jmir.org/2015/3/e76/) at https://mededu.jmir.org/author/submit/1 under the section "Discretionary Corrigenda".
Corrigenda and Addenda
This section lists all substantive corrections, additions or changes made to articles and reviews subsequent to their first publication in the journal. Corrigenda are usually submitted by the corresponding author of the original article, or the section editor. Published papers are considered "final", thus JMIR makes corrections to published papers only in exceptional circumstances. Note that while we do not charge to correct errata that are the responsibility of the publisher, we charge a $190 fee for discretionary corrigenda and addenda (please submit a correction under that section, if it is the authors' responsibility/decision to correct or add information to an already published article).
