Excellent. This will be great resource for medical students doing PM&R rotations. Hats off to AXM397, Stink, and Boys (and ladies) at Baylor for compiling this list.

Lol, the question is, do I dare look up, copy, and read these articles during my 2 month break?

NOT... 🙄

This list is dedicated to all the gunners who already read both DeLisa and Braddom cover to cover and memorized everything and need more things to do during their intern years

Does anyone have the essential list for medical acupunture? The literature out there seems so fragmented on this topic.

The chief resident at Baylor (along with one of the authors of the list itself, Dr. Francisco) is interested in getting as many residents as possible to compile synopses, in combination with the bibliography, of each of the new key articles, to be used as a resource to assist senior residents in their preparation for boards (as well as anyone else who has the time and inclination to go though them, obviously).

My program is considering using this list as a basis for our journal club this year, so I will be happy to contribute our collective efforts. Since I have already read some of the articles for presentations I have given during my residency, I will add those as well. If anyone else is interested, either personally, or possibly getting your program involved, please let me know, either by posting to this thread, or by pm'ing me. Those of you who are fellows, if you could mention this effort to the chief residents or RPD's at your institution, I would be greatly appreciative.

Although not sanctioned formally by the AAPM&R, I do know that the residents active in the Academy (read RPC) are both aware of studentdoctor.net, and have adopted it as their unoffical official site as a place where other residents can both access this list, and contribute to the great resource we envision it will ultimately become.

So good to see lists of key articles! It can be so hard to find them mixed in with so much other stuff....

I wrote about this on another section of the board - but think there may be interest here --
you can both rate and review articles here:
http://www.JournalReview.org

This will likely be another source for finding the top articles in the field in the comming months.

Does anyone EVER update this?

this is a list that came out of Baylor of what are considered to be "classic" articles. if there is an update, let me know and I will post the new list or any additions to the old list. Otherwise, feel free to post on the forum more recent articles you may want to discuss.

Can anyone make suggestions about which articles students should read?

Sorry to revive an old thread, but was wondering if the people at Baylor have any updates for this list?

I also heard that there might be a similar resource on Academe part of AAPM&R. Is this true?

Thank you..

-ML

For an updated list of classic articles, AAPM&R has a great website. “Essential Articles of PM&R Training,” This website has all of their education stuff:

http://www.physiatry.org/Education_Section.cfm

Or if you want a PDF version of the individual "classic" articles, here they are:

http://www.physiatry.org/education/ESSENTIAL%20ARTICLES%20FINAL%20VERSION.pdf (years 1980-2003)

http://www.physiatry.org/ESSENTIAL%20ARTICLES%202004%202009.pdf (years 2004-2010)

Is there any resource that has all these articles compiled.

(Takes enough time to read these articles, much less having to scour databases to find them!)
