Current Supplemental Reading (Blogs, books, articles)

[shahcoco]

I have been scouring the Internetz for great:

Medical practitioner blogs
Pre-med/Med student blogs
Books re: med, health, health policy, etc.

A lot of the blogs I'm finding haven't been updated for 1+ years. I'm still going through the archives because there is a wealth of info, but I wonder what current blogs (and books) other SDNers are keeping up with and finding beneficial.

Thanks in advance

Someone posted this site, which I enjoy skimming for recent biomed research findings/news... http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/

I've found many of the perspective/editorial pieces on NEJM and JAMA to be really interesting and helpful.

The blog by Panda Bear, MD, though a little old, has a lot of interesting material on it.

This is a thread devoted to listing various medical student blogs.

I would also recommend both books by Michael Collins, Hot Lights, Cold Steel and Blue Collar, Blue Scrubs.

And, of course, there's always my fairly new blog in my sig. I'm hoping to update it fairly regularly as I go through the medical education process.
