Welcome to the first issue of Medical Science Educator of 2018. This issue features a large number of new manuscripts reporting on medical education, which I hope will be of interest to you.

The Editorial Board is happy with the progress the journal made in 2017. The number of manuscripts submitted increased by 20% in respect to the year before. The editorial team has been expanded with some new Associate Editors and we have the privilege to work with over 200 dedicated reviewers. The Board is happy to see that more and more educators find their way to Medical Science Educator to present their scholarly work. I therefore hope you will enjoy this issue and that you will continue supporting Medical Science Educator both as a reader and as an author of your own scholarly work for the benefit of our work and the work of others!
