The mission of the Section of Medical Education Scholarly Project "pods" is to cultivate, encourage, and advance medical education research through multi-institutional collaboration. The goal of each pod is to create an educational product with the hope to enhance the education of our pulmonary and critical care community.
We have several pods that are actively involved in various educational projects.
