The studentBMJ has provided a forum for medical student debate for the past
eight years. The issues that students need to discuss deserve dedicated jo
urnal space. Being able to comment on issues such as admissions policies an
d teaching styles may affect many future generations of doctors as well. As
there are thousands of doctors in training world wide, the more ways avail
able for students to express themselves, the better. A specific journal for
Croatian medical students will allow a national perspective on these issue
s as well.
