Keeping Up with Health Sciences Information
"Try to read something medical every day. This will help you to stay abreast of new developments and provide an opportunity to become reacquainted with things that you've learned and forgotten. Medicine is less about achieving mastery then it is about reinforcing old lessons. Our individual "knowledge tanks" leak information on a daily basis. There is no way to plug the hole. Instead, you must continually replenish by adding to the top."
Goldberg, C. (2018). A few thoughts before you go... Practical Guide to Clinical Medicine.
