What is the Top Articles Committee? 

Each year, our committee reviews peer-reviewed publications to identify the most relevant and impactful scholarship in medical education. Our goal is to highlight work that advances the field and supports educators—whether they teach through patient care or lead educational programs. 

Selected articles are featured in an invited oral presentation at PAS (pending acceptance) and summarized in an annual narrative review published in a peer-reviewed journal.
