"I stay current with the ongoing advancements in the medical industry in many ways. I subscribe to several medical blogs, such as Modernizing Medicine and the American Medical Association blog, that deliver a message to my email when there is a new blog outlining the latest trends. I also read scholarly, peer-reviewed articles and listen to the 2 Docs Talk Podcast every morning on my way to work. I have also attended three conferences in the past three years that always has the latest on advancements in the field."
