As 2023 comes to a close, the in-Training team has spent a lot of time reflecting on the array of amazing works our med student writers have contributed to the journal over the past year. In order to honor these works as well as celebrate the start of the New Year, we asked each of our editors to share their ‘Editors’ Pick’, a must-read piece from 2023 that showcases the talent and breadth of our contributors. Check out each pick below! We have also featured this list on our Instagram and Twitter social media platforms @intrainingdoc.
