eMedCert’s top 10 most-read and shared articles from the year 2015.


Top Articles of 2015 – eMedCert

In 2014, we published an article at the end of the year that listed our top 10 articles for the year. That being our first year of the blog’s existence, we really enjoyed ending it with an article that somewhat summarized the beginning of our journey. Now, with even more time under our belt, we felt it was time to wrap up 2015 in a similar fashion.

With the calendar year coming to an end, we wanted to take some time to reflect on our blog’s past 12 months. All in all, we published 46 blog posts, featuring how-to’s, infographics, top 10 lists, and more. We also published a number of guest posts and would like to thank our guest contributors for their fabulous work.

The articles listed below do not entirely encapsulate the range of material that our blog brings to the table, but rather are just a few of our fan favorites. Here are our top 10 most-read and most-shared articles from 2015.
