Useful Resources for Physicians

For the medical reform to be successful, we really need physicians who love their profession: they are interested in news and discoveries from around the world, learning something new and want to develop constantly and move forward.

The Internet is an absolutely necessary tool for training and self-improvement of doctors. The open source network has a huge amount of materials, articles, training courses, videos for physicians – only English is required to access most of them. For example, there are several resources that will help physicians to gain new knowledge and keep track of the latest trends in medicine.
