The 2024 edition is a collection of fourteen contributions focused on innovation in health professions education.[1] The articles address four main themes: pedagogical innovation, non-traditional teaching models, technology integration, and curriculum design with accreditation and global collaboration.[1] Almaghashlah's study examined the relationship between pharmacy program accreditation and Saudi Pharmacy Licensing Examination (SPLE) exam results at 27 universities with over 7,500 students.[1] Findings showed that accreditation was associated with higher success rates, with ETEC-accredited colleges performing significantly better.[1] Studies in the collection emphasize that incorporating multiple competencies in authentic contexts prepares professionals better than fragmented methods.[1] A collection of articles recommends that health education focus on student-friendly paradigms that prioritize psychological safety, communication, and cultural competence as core elements.[1]
