We look forward to your participation. "
"They want you to study by yourself and become obsessed with how well you understanding the material. ergo - stop caring about whether anyone else understands it. It would be a great system to develop overconfident get-mine solo practice doctors, but everyone knows there's too much paperwork to run a solo practice these days. We're also coming upon the age of specialists when collaboration will be at a premium. A disease like diabetes is complex. You might need primary care physicians working with vascular surgeons, endocrinologists, ophthalmologists, I could list every specialty. Not to mention nutritionists, personal trainers, policy makers."
"Of course, cognitive simulation and cognitive rehearsal are important for improving physician performance in any specialty of medicine-surgical and non-surgical alike-no matter what the proportion of cognitive and procedural services. And simulation applications that could support the teaching and assessment of expert judgment would be valuable to medical education programs across all disciplines and throughout the continuum of medical education."
"Posterdocuments.com was born out of the need to help people access posters from academic conferences for viewing and printing at their convenience. Search our site by conference name, author name, or area of specialty (e.g. diabetes)."
"Specialty-dependent differences exist in consult preferences of physicians. These differences vary from the extremes of orthopedic surgeons desiring a comprehensive co-management approach with the consultant to general internists and family medicine physicians desiring to retain control over order writing and have a more focused consultant approach."
"This series includes three Reviews about intensive care medicine. The papers describe the evolution of the specialty, the demand for and ability to supply appropriate levels of care, and some of the commonly faced ethical dilemmas and challenges. These topics are apt in this period of economic constraint. Intensive care medicine consumes a considerable proportion of health-care resources and these costs will need to be justified. The appropriateness and effectiveness of the care provided will need to be improved to ensure that these resources are directed to patients most in need of them. "

While fellows are often believed to be a detracting factor to residency training, we found that pediatric resident attitudes toward the fellows were generally positive. In our experience, in the specialty of neonatology a fellow-led education program can positively contribute to both resident and fellow learning and satisfaction.
