Groups of MDs, PhDs, faculty, fellows, and residents, chosen from centers of excellence in each course area, wrote the laboratory medicine questions and learning resources. They then worked with their teams and the AACC editorial staff to refine the content.
Specialty editors provided a completely independent review of each question and learning resource, carefully examining content for veracity, clarity, and relevance.
Reviewers — master clinicians and educators — were charged with evaluating content for clinical relevance and verifying that the feedback was accurate and impactful.
Finally, the Editor, Nader Rifai, PhD, staff editors and proofreaders worked in concert to bring all of the moving parts together in a clear, concise, and accurate product.
Our editorial process ensures each content item is thoroughly scrutinized during multiple layers of review.
