Listen to the Doctor . . . on Your iPod

Over the past year, health providers, medical journals, government agencies and a bewildering number of self-proclaimed health experts have begun to offer health news and information via audio and video podcasts. These prerecorded segments are downloaded from the Internet and played on a computer or other device. A variety of software allows you to subscribe -- often for free -- to podcasts and receive automatic updates. Catch up on, say, the latest Parkinson's disease research while at your desk or the dangers of heat stroke during your morning run.

After you have passed residency and all the boards you are proving to have attained certain level of proficiency regardless on how you did your basic sciences equally compared to those who atended basic sciences the traditional way. I don't see how you can prove me wrong on this side of the argument.
Just to clarify, I am not endorsing IUHS nor UHSA or their business practices in no means, explicit or implicit. OK?
