Updated "Essential Articles" Resource now Available on AAP Website
Alex Moroz, MD and a group of dedicated PM&R program directors and residents have put together an updated "Essential Articles" in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation collection, including publications from 2004-2010.  This collection is built upon the foundation of "Essential Articles" compiled by Dr. Gerard Francisco and his team several years ago.  The original collection includes publications from 1980 to 2003.
 
"Essential Articles" are articles that a PM&R resident should have read or at least be familiar with by completion of training.  Learners and educators are encouraged to use this update together with the original "Essential Articles" collection.
