The IAMSE Manuals Editorial Board is seeking proposals for contributions to the IAMSE Manuals book series to be published in 2028.
The IAMSE Manuals series was established to disseminate current developments and best evidence-based practices in healthcare education, providing healthcare educators with the most current information to succeed in their roles. The Manuals offer practical “how-to-guides” on a variety of topics relevant to teaching and learning in the healthcare profession. The aim is to improve the quality of educational activities, which include, but are not limited to, teaching, assessment, mentoring, advising, coaching, curriculum development, leadership, administration, scholarship in healthcare education, and promoting interest in health professions education. They are compact volumes of 100 to 175 pages (with a minimum of 50,000 words) that address various practical challenges or opportunities facing medical educators. Springer publishes the manuals, and IAMSE members can access online versions at a reduced price. Previously published manuals are available on both the Springer and IAMSE websites.
We welcome proposal submissions on topics relevant to IAMSE’s mission and encourage multi-institutional, international, and interprofessional contributions. Topics for the manuals may vary widely, including but not limited to the following:
- Cultural Competence and Inclusivity
- Simulation-Based Learning
- Well-being and Self-Care for Everyone
- Curriculum Design and Integration
- Assessment and Feedback Strategies
- Communication Skills
- Research Approaches in Medical Education
- Approaches to Emotional Intelligence and Resilience
- Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI)
- Health Policy and Advocacy
- Approaches to Learning and Teaching
As a new initiative this year, we invite proposals for new editions of previously published IAMSE Manuals, provided they meet the following Springer eligibility requirements: new edition proposals must include no more than 20% material from the original manual, mainly consist of new or significantly revised content, and feature a distinctive title or subtitle that clearly indicates the work as a new edition.

Submission Deadline: October 30, 2026

We look forward to your submissions.
