About the Journal

The student-run medical journal at MU-WCOM, Beyond the White Coat, was established to provide a platform for medical students to share their experiences, insights, and scholarly work in a meaningful and creative way. The journal fosters engagement in academic writing, critical thinking, and peer collaboration while promoting professional growth and confidence in scholarly communication. By featuring reflective narratives, research highlights, and perspectives on medical education and patient care, the journal encourages students to develop their voice as future physicians and leaders. Additionally, it serves as a unique opportunity for mentorship, editorial experience, and leadership development, ensuring that students gain skills that extend beyond the classroom and into their professional careers.
