BMC Medical Education is calling for submissions to its Collection on Medical education in low- and middle-income countries. Medical education serves as the cornerstone of healthcare systems, shaping the competencies and perspectives of future health professionals. While strides have been made to enhance medical education throughout the world, disparities persist, particularly in LMICs. Economically developing nations often lack adequate financial resources to invest in medical education infrastructure, including facilities, equipment, technology, and faculty development programs. This can result in a number of disadvantages for not only students and educators, but also future patients; outdated teaching materials, overcrowded classrooms, and a shortage of skilled educators are but a few examples. Moreover, cultural complexities, such as language barriers, differing regional health priorities, and the socioeconomic backgrounds of students, further impact the quality and accessibility of medical education in these areas. Despite these obstacles, innovative approaches and solutions are emerging, driven by the dedication and ingenuity of educators, policymakers, and healthcare practitioners. This Collection aims to shed light on the diverse landscape of medical education in low- and middle-income countries, exploring both the obstacles encountered and the strategies employed to overcome them.
