Words to Learn By:

As I'm about to embark on my journey of a Combined Internal Medicine-Pediatrics residency, I was struck by the enormity of material I will need to master. It is a bit overwhelming. Not only do I want to know the material, I want to be able to utilize it accurately. Georgetown has taught me that Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) is a critical part of practicing sound medicine, and being the best doctor that you can be. Unfortunately, I am not like my brother, who can remember every detail of everything he reads, so this site is going to become a sort of library or filing cabinet for all the practice-changing articles, or clear and concise reviews on topics that I come across.

Every post will start with either "Med:" or "Peds:" to designate which side of the spectrum it falls under. Or, the wonderful, "MedPeds:" title. I'll try to use key words to make it easy to search, and these articles will come in in no particular order. Simply, as I find them, or realize it's important to general practice. I hope you gain a better understanding of how to practice better medicine, and gain some words to learn by.
