Having recently become introduced to the world of blogs (I know, I'm old... give me a break!), I thought we should try having one for the residency. Maybe more of the residents will read this than my emails?! We'll see... the first resident to post a comment indicating that they've read this wins a prize. Leave your comment and I'll notify you where to pick it up. :-)
We're (the UTMB FM Residency program) pretty technology savvy, so this is a logical addition. We're fast approaching the go-live transition from the EMR FM pioneered more than 10 years ago to the new one selected for the entire enterprise. The library resources - database access for research and on line point-of-care technology - available to us are extensive. We all use technology in our patient care activities on a daily basis - real-time schedule access, lab and xray results, PDA based resources as well as internet resources such as Up To Date and the www universe of practice guidelines and patient education materials have totally changed the practice of medicine since my graduation from residency. It's hard to believe I had NONE of those tools when I began my practice. It's an exciting time to be a doctor.
So, here you have it... the just unveiled PD's blog. I'll post news of interest here from time to time. I look forward to your comments and seeing how this works out.

Roberto, YOU are the winner! Drop by my office to claim your prize. You can get it from Jackie if I'm not here. :-)
I remember feeling exactly that way before I started my internship. And absolutely terrified when I ran my first code, pronounced my first patient and so many other "firsts". Not to mention all the wonderful firsts... first baby I delivered as a "real doctor", families I took care of during my residency. Internship is a growth experience like no other time in training. As hard as it is to believe, exponentially more so than medical school. You will learn more in the next year than you ever will again. It's an amazing, wonderful thing for faculty to watch and participate in and we all are looking forward to having you with us soon.
