Seasons greetings from the ALiEM. We have been expanding our range of posts in the hopes of sharing new lessons, exploring the concept of digital scholarship, and advancing life skills. Based on our recent survey, we understand that our loyal base of readers are those looking for clinical content. So here are our top 20 most popular ALiEM clinical posts in 2014. Did you read these?

Search methodology

Through Google Analytics for the date range Jan 1-Dec 18, 2014, we identified the top 20 posts published in 2014. Of note, posts earlier in the year have had more time to generate more page views, which makes posts like Bryan Hayes’ Nov 27 post on Naloxone Dilution all the more impressive that it made the top 20 cut.
