"I am an avid fan of Google alerts! I receive an email with related information whenever there is a major headline about the healthcare industry. In addition to this, I also subscribe to a couple of medical-related journals, such as the Child Health Journal and the Journal of Pediatrics. These journals give valuable information about working with pediatrics. And, my former employer provided in-service and continuing education courses that kept me current in the industry."
