MEdCAPs and MEdCATs

MEdCAPs and MEdCATs are original peer-reviewed publications exclusively available to CAME members. If you are a member, please login to access the articles.

What are MEdCAPs and MEdCATs?

  • MEdCAPs stands for Medical Education Critically Appraised Papers
  • MEdCATs stands for Medical Education Critically Appraised Topics

A new initiative of CAME, MEdCAPs and MEdCATs allow its members rapid access to critically reviewed contemporary papers and topics in medical education. This allows access to current best evidence and practice in medical education but saves the time of performing a complete literature search.

Call for Submissions

CAME invites health care educators from across Canada to submit original MEdCAPs and MEdCATs for peer review and publication. For authorship guidelines and submission processes, please see Publish With CAME.
