As December comes to a close, we look forward to recognizing the year’s top 10 articles! Join me in congratulating this amazing group of authors at all levels of training and from across the USA!

Additionally, I would like to thank each of the AAEM/RSA Modern Resident Blog authors, reviewers, mentors, and editorial staff members for their tireless contributions to the blog. Without all of them, the blog would not be what it is today. Thanks for a successful 2018!

We are currently accepting articles for 2019 and are always looking for additional faculty mentors as well. Feel free to contact us at info@aaemrsa.org with questions. Have a safe and happy holiday season!

Sincerely,

Jake Toy, DO
