Medical Education Online (MEO) publishes peer-reviewed manuscripts on any topic related to educating physicians and other health professionals. MEO is an open access journal that does not place any restrictions on accessing the articles in the journal and does not charge authors for publishing their manuscripts.
We are seeking to increase our pool of external reviewers. We use an electronic review system that makes the review process very convenient.
Reviewers are usually asked to review a few times a year.
