I have finally succumbed to the blogging epidemic (bloggeritis, if you will). While initially resisting the proverbial bandwagon, I later concluded that I had much to gain from this experience. My foray into blogging primarily stems from two interests: an academic one, related to medicine and medical education; and a personal one, related to writing and literature.

I have no elaborate mission statements or defined [learning] objectives for this forum–at least, not yet. I nonetheless hope to use this blog as a medium for educational enrichment, as I feature clinical tidbits, study results, HIPAA-compliant anecdotes, and pertinent commentaries. And as a standard disclaimer to satisfy the legal folks … I reserve the right to post unrelated material whenever I need a mental escape from the often hectic and demanding life on the wards.

Enjoy.
