Journal Articles

One way of disseminating information learned from projects of the Centers for Education & Research on Therapeutics (CERTs) is through publication in peer-reviewed medical journals. This section shows CERTs journal articles published from 2000 through 2006. It will be updated soon to include the most current journal articles.
