Resources for keeping up medical knowledge while not practicing?

Hello all!

I am a recent vet grad from the US and have started a PhD program, so I am not currently practicing medicine. I am looking for resources to allow me to keep up my medical knowledge and maybe get a little bit of practice in. I went through the interactive cases on dvm360, which I enjoyed, but am looking for more. I have found plenty of apps and other resources for human physicians looking to quiz themselves, as well as share and work through cases, but have not been successful in finding active sources for veterinarians. Are there any resources out there (free or subscription) that anyone recommends?

Thank you!

Several of the DVMs I know who are doing PhDs right now moonlight at emergency hospitals, so that's an option.

I would also think VIN would be a good resource as far as knowledge and working through cases goes.

1. Reading the journals; JVIM, Veterinary Research, Veterinary Surgery, Veterinary Radiology and Ultrasound, Veterinary Journal are some good ones. If you're at a university you can probably access these through your library.

2. VIN VIN Promo Home - Top

3. If you are at or near a veterinary school, they should have a number of seminars and rounds you can attend.

4. Local, regional and national CE meetings. I like ACVIM, ACVS, and IVECCS.

VIN. Let me say that again: VIN. Worth it's weight in gold, even for someone who is practicing.
