The Journal and the Editorial Board are not responsible for the opinions expressed by the Authors of all published material, nor do these represent the official policy or medical opinion of the Journal or the institutions with which they are affiliated, unless otherwise stated.

The International Journal of Medical Students is published triannually on behalf of the Executive Com- mittee of the International Journal of Medical Students. Any publication, dissemination or distribution of the information included in the Journal is permitted only if the source is cited (Int J Med Students).
