Medical Education Scholars in Pediatrics (MESP) is a monthly regularly scheduled series for faculty and trainees to conduct research in medical education, viewing medical education as a primary focus for academic scholarship. These sessions are intended to foster collaboration and disseminate knowledge to promote scholarship in medical education.
