Perspectives
As the editor of this collection (FOCUS Quarterly Winter 2023), I am proud of the diverse background of the authors and the types of subject matter that is covered! In particular, this information serves not only as a core curriculum but also as a selection of "ad hoc" articles that can be used in journal clubs, grand rounds, and other educational domains.
