Rip Outs

The aim of the Rip Out section of JGME is to provide resources to educators. Rip Outs are designed to provide readers with information to facilitate their ongoing development as educators in graduate medical education. They are arranged here by topic.

Each Rip Out is formatted to facilitate quick reading and intended to be ‘‘ripped out’’ (or downloaded) from the Journal. Each article begins with the specific problem or challenge and includes key evidence and best practices from the literature, immediate and long-term action steps, and references and resources for further reading.

The Rip Out section is a collaborative effort by members of the JGME Editorial Board and solicited authors.

If you would like to suggest topics for Rip Outs or have ideas regarding topics, or ideas to enhance use and dissemination of this resource, please contact us at [email protected].
