A Survey of Past Participants in the Annals of Emergency Medicine Editorial Board Fellowship Program

Annals of Emergency Medicine established the Resident Editorial Fellow program for senior residents in 1998. As of 2009, 14 residents had completed the 1-year program. We survey the literature on training of medical editors, describe the structure of the fellowship, and present the results of a survey of all past participants, documenting their subsequent professional positions and the perceived influence of the fellowship on their careers. The response rate was 100%.
