We've received over 100 requests for this DVD this week. I encourage residents interested in receiving this DVD for themselves and their colleagues to contact me.

Thanks for the posting.
I just read through the whole issue and it's great!
But, being in my internship year, I wanted to thank Dr. Kitchens for his article: "Tips for a Successful Residency." By John Kitchens, MD
If you are in your intern year like myself, and wondering what I can start doing to prepare for ophtho this article gives some good advice. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback! Please post requests for article topics in the future. Also, if you'd like to contribute, then please send me a message.
