If you have no idea what this is please go view this page first. This is week five of our prep course! If you never got “the rules” read them under the heading “So how do I use this?“
Welcome to week five of our journey through intern preparation. Week One had a good dose of OB and Peds, Week Two had a focus on communication and both inpatient/outpatient medicine, Week Three was a bit of derm and psychiatry, Week Four was a little bit of everything. And this week… we’re all over the place again, but with a heap of ID related stuff.
Welcome to Family Medicine, where our focus is… everything.

- While this Tweetorial by a neurologist (@Oga_DoctorBlue) is aimed at medical students it has some important reminders for a person who will soon be an intern. In the same vein, @GamerEMDoc makes a second appearance with his EM focused thread that has good points for FM residents, too, especially if you’ll be on EM early in the year.
