Dear readers,

I am more than delighted to present to you the October 2022 issue of the Turkish Medical Student Journal. This year, we enhanced our accessibility and visibility and expanded our editorial board vastly. We have always been a journal that valued and followed the double-blinded peer review system. This year, we expanded the diversity of our reviewers and had the chance to get various independent peer reviewer opinions for all of our articles. I would personally like to thank our amazing editorial board for all of their hard work and dedication, they all did a marvelous job.

As a medical journal founded and run by medical students, we often face many obstacles that most journals do not experience. However, I would like to extend my gratitude to all our editorial advisory board members and esteemed peer reviewers for their meticulous work and never-ending interest and belief in our journal. Lastly, I would like to highlight all the valuable submissions we had this year. As the Turkish Medical Student Journal editorial board, we have always tried to give constructive feedback to our authors and strived to publish their work in the best possible quality.

Thank you for your interest in our journal, hope to meet you again next year.
