There is *so* much in the news that is pretty fascinating. I tried to unplug this weekend, but when I was awake at 3am this morning there was plenty to keep me occupied, article-wise. What follow is just some of what I’ve been reading since last we spoke:

Articles of Note: May 2013
May 22, 2013 | Leave a Comment
Time once again for Articles of Note, our monthly review of what’s new and noteworthy in the peer-reviewed literature. This is a particularly good list–there’s just so much that’s interesting in the journals right now. As always, email me if you want the word doc. Otherwise the embedded doc should have working hyperlinks (thank you [...]

Big “C” Conversations
May 21, 2013 | 2 Comments
When I was in Kansas City last week one of my sessions was geared toward emerging issues in forensic healthcare. I was asked to speak on the topic, and while I understand that the request was geared more towards a “specific populations and circumstances” kind of talk, I decided to take it in a slightly [...]

Your Online Life, Permanent as a Tattoo
May 20, 2013 | Leave a Comment
I couldn’t help but post this today after spending quite a bit of time last week talking with folks about social media use and its reflection on our professional selves. It’s a very short piece (under 7 minutes), and while this isn’t the most electric talk I’ve heard from the folks at TED, the content [...]

10 Things: Non-Clinical Resources
April 23, 2013 | Leave a Comment
I get a lot of questions about the resources I rely on–what are the essential books, journals and websites I turn to to do this work. I am a firm believer that you can find relevance anywhere you choose to look for it. I am also a firm believer that all knowledge makes you better [...]

I don’t know about you, but last week I reached my news saturation point. By Friday night I had to shut down my electronics and just get away from all of it. (My eyes needed a break, as the brilliant Amy Poehler stated.) So a lot of what I’ve been reading *isn’t* about Boston, but [...]

How to Avoid Virtual Miscommunication
April 16, 2013 | Leave a Comment
Because almost everything I do professionally is virtual, save some of the teaching and testimony work, being able to communicate online is pretty vital. But I don’t think you have to be in the consulting business to understand why it is a critical skill, and clinicians aren’t exempt from this. So I loved Harvard Business Blog’s [...]

Annals of Internal Medicine has published a new position paper from the American College of Physicians and the Federation of State Medical Boards: Online Medical Professionalism: Patient and Public Relationships. I haven’t seen a lot from the physician groups on this issue, so I look forward to reading through it. RWJF’s Human Capital Blog has [...]

I confess, an absolutely gorgeous weekend here in DC kept me outside and away from all electronics most of the time. So what I’ve been reading since last we spoke is a bit scant. However, there’s some good stuff among the list for you this week–if you read nothing else, check out the piece on busyness [...]
