I am trying to develop a friendly relationship with one of my professors. He is in charge of an orthopedic research program that I would like to participate in during the summer and subsequent semesters. I have talked to him generally about his research and why I am interested in orthopedics. He gave me two articles that his team has published recently and suggested I read them. I have read one of them and plan on reading the other one in the next day or so.

My question is.. what can I go and talk to him about regarding these articles? I know it sounds like a stupid question, but I'm serious. The first article is about tissue-engineered human menisci. It's actually pretty interesting for a science article and I understand everything, except for some of the methods that they did. But it's not like it's above my head or anything. But, what can I say to him that makes myself sound intelligent? I don't want to ask questions about the article over things I already understand simply for the sake of asking questions.

Does this make sense? I mean, should I go and ask if they have done anything more with this tissue engineering? Or if it has had any clinical applications? In the article, which was published a year ago, they say it hasn't been used in humans yet.

Any advice would be great. I haven't really done much research in the past so I don't have a real firm grasp on talking about research procedures and all that jazz, but I've certainly read enough articles to understand it and everything. ]]> Allopathic sivman17 http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=700730 http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=700691&goto=newpost Tue, 09 Feb 2010 02:17:47 GMT good books for family medicine? good books for family medicine? ]]> Allopathic Bluesaurus http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=700691 http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=700636&goto=newpost Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:38:16 GMT There was a special either on Dateline NBC, or some other show similar to that a week or two ago about 'A Day in the Life of a Medical Resident.' As would be expected, I missed it because I was studying for exams. Does anybody know where I could find this video to watch it online? ]]> Allopathic hockeydoc9 http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=700636 http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=700534&goto=newpost Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:20:10 GMT Just got pimped on what the minimun number of bubbles per second are necesary to confirm enough negative pressure differential.
