Reads
5 champions, 5 papers, 1 winner
Join us for BPER Reads, our annual “Battle of the Papers” where 5 scholars in our community champion the one paper of the past academic year they feel every health professional educator must read.
We start in October with 5 scholars in our community championing one paper of the past academic year they feel every health professional educator must read. Over the next 3 months we will eliminate 3 papers to reach our final two.
In February, the final two scholars will each champion the paper they feel deserves to be read first.
Participants will vote every month for their favourite paper; the paper with the lowest number of votes will be eliminated.
Stay tuned for BPER Reads 2025
