TickToC: An Education Article in a Minute
RaDME sponsors a monthly
Table of Contents (ToC) Review
meeting. Members each review an issue of a medical education journal and present highlights to the group. This serves as a cooperative way to keep up with the literature without each person having to read each and every journal. Occasionally, a member volunteers to write a very brief synopsis of one relevant article, making scholarly work even more accessible to busy faculty. We share those with you in a feature called:
TickToC: An education sciences article in a minute.
