relay for life - the american cancer society 2008-11-03 09:26:49 Looking for a way to give back or do some volunteer activity with your classmates or co-workers? Consider looking into relays sponsored by the American Cancer Society in your area:
It’s a great organization–the A.C.S. provides millions of dollars in research funding every year and participation in the relay itself is a great time!
mnemonic for generating a differential diagnosis 2008-11-03 07:37:13 Are you trying to figure out what is going on with your patient?
Generating a differential diagnosis
for a patient is critical for performing a directed history and physical as well as organizing your patient presentation (if you will be presenting to an attending or resident) and ultimately for generating
a treatment plan. Until you are familiar with the particular area [...] Read more:mnemonic
allergies, winter dry nose and sinus hygiene 2008-11-03 05:18:47 Many people have sinus and allergy problems–almost 10% of the US population! These problems are often treated with medication, medication and more medication. However, one of the most useful interventions is avoided! I’m talking about nasal rinses or irrigation. Usually normal saline, nasal irrigation is extremely effective at cleaning out the allergens and your own stuck-on Read more:winter
support open access scientific journals 2008-11-02 21:00:51 Science and knowledge should be freely available to everyone. What’s the point of publishing cutting-edge discoveries if only wealthy academic institutions can afford to have subscriptions to those journals? What about a university in a developing country that may not have the same resources as universities and academic centers in the USA or Europe? Shouldn’t they have access
harold and kumar 2008-11-02 15:31:59 Taking a break and watching “Harold and Kumar go to White Castle” which got me wondering–how many people go to medical school and become physicians because their parents expect/want them to?
Is it possible that your physician is only your physician because of his/her parents?
Hard to imagine anyone would go through that pain because their parents [...]
deadlines deadlines 2008-11-02 09:50:22 Deadline to resubmit a revised manuscript this week. Since I have finished my PhD, this is the first time that I have submitted an article as a corresponding author. It’s a satisfying feeling but also associated with a little extra stress. Not really a big deal but throw that into the mix of fourth year [...]
an awesome leg/lowerbody weightlifting workout!!! 2008-11-01 20:06:39 “Strong mind, strong body,” as they say. It’s hard to tell others (including your patients for the physicians out there) to stay healthy if you aren’t. But I’ll preach about that some other time.
I’ve been lifting weights all through medical school and graduate school (having started back in high school), but for a long time [...] Read more:awesome
interviewing 2008-10-31 16:42:10 The best advice I ever received regarding interviews was from one of my professors in college, who said, “Don’t miss the questions you’re supposed to get right.” It’s such obvious and yet brilliant advice. In my experience, I would say that everyone knows this without anyone saying it to them, but almost no one really [...]
