*What is a favourite article?
A favourite article is a publication that adds value to your practice of Obstetric Medicine. As clinicians we all value articles that help us deliver evidence based, best patient management. As educators, favourite articles help our fellows focus on the key aspects of safely managing complex conditions. As health advocates, favourite articles help us deliver proactive, insightful care to our patients. Finally, as a group of Obstetric Medicine specialists, favourite articles include important clinical trials and primary research that advance our evidence base and knowledge. Ultimately, through participating in this annual survey YOU define the NASOM top articles.
**We prioritize research!
In order to promote the research that drives our practice forward, we kindly request all contributors to include at least one research article.

North American Society of Obstetric Medicine
The goals of our society are to promote and support research collaboration, communication, and teaching concerning the medical care of pregnant women.
This joint Canadian and U.S. society’s members now include general internists, maternal fetal medicine physicians, anesthesiologists, neonatologists, general obstetricians, family doctors, and other specialists interested in the management of medical complications in pregnancy.
Obstetric Medicine is a relatively new sub-specialty providing comprehensive care to women with medical conditions presenting before or during pregnancy and the immediate postpartum period.
