in-Training is a peer-edited online magazine for medical students. It was established in April 2012 by Ajay Major and Aleena Paul, two medical students at Albany Medical College.[1][2]

The magazine identifies itself as "the agora of the medical student community" and strives to be the intellectual center for news, commentary, and the free expression of the medical student voice.[3][4]

On September 18, 2016, in-Training published its 1000th article, representing 450 authors at 152 medical schools around the world.[5][6][7] in-Training is edited and managed entirely by an independent editorial board of over 40 volunteer, unpaid medical students.[1][2][8]

History

Looking for perspective on how to restart Albany Medical College's student newspaper, Ajay Major and Aleena Paul approached physician-journalist, Tyeese Gaines, at a 2012 Student National Medical Association conference. Encouraged by Gaines, Major and Paul decided to attract a larger audience with an online publication.[9] The website for in-Training went live on July 2, 2012.[9]

Syndication

in-Training articles are syndicated on Student Doctor Network.[10] in-Training also produces three podcasts and is a founding member of The Vocalis Podcast Network, a network of podcasts for medical students.[11]

Awards

in-Training is a winner of the Summer/Fall 2014[12] and Fall 2015[13] Digital Health Awards, a competition that recognizes high-quality digital health resources for consumers and health professionals.

Funding

in-Training is currently funded by Pager Publications, Inc., a 501c3 non-profit corporation that curates and supports peer-edited publications for the medical education community.[14] Website hosting costs for the 2014, 2015 and 2016 calendar years were funded by a gift from the Albany Medical College Alumni Association.[4]
