Article Synopsis
- Health professions education is crucial for universal health coverage and improving health outcomes, but low- and middle-income countries like Somalia struggle with outdated systems, resource shortages, and a lack of trained professionals due to ongoing instability.
- This study used mixed-methods research, including interviews and surveys, to analyze the state of health education and workforce in Somalia, investigating the perspectives of young professionals and students in the field.
- Findings revealed a concentration of health schools in urban areas, significant urban-rural disparities in the healthcare workforce, and employment challenges for graduates, indicating an urgent need for reforms in health education and governance.

The founders of PubPeer envisioned their website as an online form of a "journal club" that would facilitate post-publication peer review.
