Welcome ALiEM Resident Editor Dr. Natalie Desouza

Michelle Lin, MD on 09/03/2013

There are many things that print journals do well. One of the best ideas that I have seen from the Annals of Emergency Medicine is the unique idea of having a Resident Editor on the executive team. This provides the resident exposure to the behind-the-scenes operational processes of running a journal under a mentored environment. Similarly, ALiEM has experienced such rapid growth in the past year with the addition of amazing regular bloggers that we are ready to welcome our first Resident Editor Dr. Natalie Desouza (UCSF-SFGH EM senior resident).

We spent a great deal of time discussing what the role of the Resident Editor would be and feel that we’ve come up with an innovative and timely role — leading the charge on post-publication peer review of blog posts.
