A Guide to Academic Independence
A Wise Man Once Said:"If you want to know how we practiced medicine 5 years ago,
read a textbook.
If you want to know how we practiced medicine 2 years ago,
read a journal.
If you want to know how we practice medicine now,
go to a conference.
If you want to know how we will practice medicine in the future,
listen in the hallways and use FOAM."- Prof. Joe
Lex
