Doctors are the key link between you and your health, an integral ingredient in the continued well-being of our civilization. When you get right down to it, our doctors are the only thing standing between us and the end of the world as we know it. No, that’s not as melodramatic as it might sound. Bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi outnumber us a few billion to one. They’re everywhere. They’re more adaptable. They’re more ruthless. They don’t understand that tipping the balance of nature isn’t going to end the way they want it to.

They do all this to humanity way before chronic diseases like diabetes and the deterioration of age step in. Our doctors are our knights in shining armor, the first line of defense between us and the bad particles abounding on this earth – unseen particles of doom lurk everywhere and we can’t fight them. New health nemesis are popping up everywhere in the world on a daily basis. That being the case, it is of the essence that our doctors be informed, armed and ready to do battle. The means to this crucial strategic plan is continuing medical education.

What is Continuing Medical Education Anyway?

Those in the field of medicine are intimately aware of the challenges and the critical need for continuing their medical education. If you do not know about continuing education, you better be darn sure that your doctor does.

When you are looking for a doctor to look after your health, you will probably not select the one right out of medical school. You want a doctor with experience treating all sorts of diseases and conditions – one who has forgotten more than the newcomer will know in 20 years of practice. Continue reading »

The Three Types of Residents that Medical Students Will Encounter

Every medical student is a bit apprehensive when he/she knows they will be assigned a new resident. The same questions always come up…will the resident be nice? Will they understand my busy schedule? Will they make me do a ton of scutwork? Will they make me write all of his/her progress notes? And maybe most importantly, will they let me leave early to study for boards or enjoy the occasional night out? After a year and a half of clinical rotations in various hospitals throughout NYC, I have learned that every resident can fit in to one of three general categories.

The Amazing Resident
The first type of resident is my favorite. He/she is the one that still remembers what it’s like to have freedom and no responsibility as a 3rd and 4th year medical student. They understand that the medical student is strictly there to learn some cool things and see some interesting procedures, then get out of the hospital to study. This resident is almost always cognizant of the fact that the medical student does NOT want to work through lunch to finish a progress note that should be done by the resident to begin with.

I have also noticed that this type of resident is usually more efficient and smarter than his/her colleagues. He/she is able to get their work done without a medical student, therefore does not have to rely on him for help. Since this resident is usually smarter than the average bear, they often times inpart unique clinical knowledge to the student. The funny thing about this resident is that I am MUCH more willing to do the lowest of scutwork to help him/her out because of their teaching and understanding of the medical student’s role.
