Health Professions Education represents a cornerstone concept that not only encompasses all facets of medical education but also extends across the entire spectrum of educational experiences for medical students, residents, physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. Amidst the third wave of medical education reform, there's an emerging call for interdisciplinary integration and collaboration to align with contemporary clinical advancements. The mission of Health Professions Education and Research (HPER) is to foster communication and collaboration among healthcare practitioners, educators, administrative staff, related technicians, and graduate students, thereby catalyzing the evolution of health professions education both within China and internationally, and providing valuable research outcomes for the broader healthcare community.

APC

For open-access journals, articles are freely available online without any restriction. Therefore, it is possible to cover the cost of the whole publishing services provided by publishers, i.e., article process charges (APC). The process may include provision of online tools for editors and authors, article production and hosting, liaison with abstracting and indexing services, and customer services. The APC, payable when your manuscript is editorially accepted and before publication, is charged to either you, or your funder, institution or employer. The journal's policy is to waive APCs from its inception through 2026.
