What should you do now that the NRMP Match is over and you’re preparing for your internship and residency?  Well, I just posted some quick residency preparation tips for things you should do (and things you should not do).  Here’s the video from YouTube:

I just saw one of my friends who happens to be one of the four main developers of YottaLook.com – a radiology search engine. Seeing him reminded me of the site, which I tend to jump to when I need a quick radiographic image to teach a resident or a nurse practitioner.

But it hadn’t occurred to me until today that I should share this site with the RookieDoc community.

Anyway, YottaLook is pretty cool and it is starting to gain some steam. It was recently listed as one of the Top 100 Alternative Search Engines… #16, in fact.

If you need to look up a serious radiology question, but you don’t want to wade through a yotta junk search results, then RookieDoc recommends YottaLook.

After a great response from those of you on my “new release priority notification list”, the RookieDoc Membership program is being opened to anyone that is interested. Here’s a short intro video to show you some of the things that are part of membership. If it sounds interesting or useful, click the link below the video to find out more.

The images of CDs, books, and DVDs in this video correspond to downloadable products.

Since the last video, many of you asked to see a sample of the imaging tips from Radiology Rounds in the members area. Well, here’s a sample. It’s under 4 minutes and goes over a finding often missed by med students, interns, and residents when reading chest X-rays. Click this image to get started.

Want more videos like this one? You can get these regularly as a part of the RookieDoc Radiology Rounds Modules in the Members area. I will be accepting new members starting Tuesday 1/27/09 at 12 noon EST.

As most of you know, RookieDoc Radiology Rounds usually focuses on actual radiographic studies – like reading chest x-rays, abdominal films, head CTs, chest CTs, and other bread-and-butter studies that are ultra-important for your training.

Well, this time, rather than focusing on reading studies, I made a quick video (a little over 5 minutes) that goes through choosing the right studies. Click on the video image below to get started. (And I apologize ahead of time, I was pretty sick when I was making the video… my hair is schlepped, my eyes have bags under them, and I wasn’t my cheery self. Anyway, hope you like it.)

If you found this video useful, you should see the RookieDoc Radiology Rounds videos available to members.

I’m re-opening the doors to accept new members starting Tuesday 1/27/09 at 12 noon EST. If you’re on the Priority Notification List, you will be notified 24 hours before everyone else. Put your name and email below.
