Medicine Mondays


ABN MOC Alternative
Hey everyone! It’s Medicine Mondays and I wanted to talk about an upcoming change to the Maintenance of Certification for the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN). So I’m going to talk about the ABPN MOC Alternative today. This should be a relatively short post (I think). First a little background: In my prior posts about Maintenance of Certification (MOC) and the AMA Update, I’ve talked about recent proposed changes to MOC. To summarize […]

What is Medical School like?
Hi everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. We’re going to switch gears and do some reflection on where I’ve come from, meaning my medical school years. I think a lot of undergrad (and even high school) pre-meds think about this question: “What is Medical School like?” **Apologies, this didn’t post like it was scheduled to for some reason. The answer to this question is complex. You will hear many, many different answers to this question. However, […]

What is Torticollis? 1
Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays and this post is probably a little late. However, I wanted to take today to talk about something that is not uncommon, but is probably not well understood by the general public.

Torticollis has a variety of other names like “crick […]

Lazy Koala
Hey everyone, my apologies for this late post. To be honest, I totally forgot today was Monday because it was a Holiday… but I still work today.

I hope everyone has a nice weekend, but now I’m off to work! […]

If not Medicine... then what? 1
Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. I wasn’t sure what to write about for this week, but since last week I talked about “Why Radiology?, I’ve decided to do another “stream of consciousness” type post to ponder “If not Medicine… then what?” So then… let’s think about it: If I didn’t go to medical school, what would I have done? Well, anything I say here will just be all speculation, but just let me talk […]

Why Radiology? 6
Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays and I didn’t really have any particular post in mind today. So today is going to be another “stream of consciousness” type post where I ponder “Why Radiology?” So this is probably going to be a short post. I don’t think I’m going to go into too much depth and introspection here, at least not today. So then, Why Radiology? Well, if you may recall, I didn’t originally set out […]
