OPENPediatrics Scholar aims to accept submissions that adhere to best practices in multimedia design, ensure accessibility, and promote inclusivity.

We accept content for all types of healthcare professionals including, but not limited to, clinical officers, community health workers, dietitians, dentists, nurses, nutritionists, pharmacists, physicians, physiotherapists, psychologists, occupational therapists, respiratory therapists, and surgeons.

Each submission must include the following components: learning resource title, content description, learning objectives, description of identified need, learner assessment, and anticipated use.

OPENPediatrics Scholar is also willing to consider submission of other innovative resources such as screen-based simulations, virtual cases, serious games, or interactive content. However, as technical considerations of hosting this type of content vary widely based on the content authoring tool used to create and disseminate material, authors intending to submit such content should contact the editorial team prior to submission.
