Yes, this will be the format of all future PIO's, unless people would like to give suggestions to improve on it. Also, please let us know topics that are of interest to you, and we'll find authors to write them. The next issue will focus on OKAPs and Boards.

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.
