We began this November with 5 scholars in our community championing one paper of the past academic year they feel every health professional educator must read. Over the past 2 months, we invited you to read each paper, and the rationale and vote for your favourite. Voting is now closed & we have our top two papers!
On February 10th, join Sacha Agrawal and Lynne Sinclair as they each champion the paper they selected and why they feel it deserves to be read first.
