Learning Objectives 

One of the major gaps of many trainees and faculty in early career is the lack of familiarity with details pertaining to the structuring and writing of scientific manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals.  This is mainly due to the fact that this topic is not covered in the standard training curriculum of medical school, residency, or fellowship.  This gap may lead to significant frustrations when scientific manuscripts are not accepted by the desired medical journals.   Often, the inability to publish scientific work is not due to poor quality science but rather to the gaps in knowledge pertaining to proper writing skills or poor data analysis or interpretation.  The aim of this online series is to address this important gap and help young health care professionals increase their ability to generate high-quality scientific manuscripts.
