An endocrinologist by trade, he stumbled upon a very interesting effect that progesterone has upon human melanoma cells soon after setting up his lab last year. I wont go into great detail, but the cells appear to lose their adhesion capabilities, which somehow also results in negative proliferation.
Today, we discussed the future of my research program and outlined the next year’s worth of...
Medical Specialty Aptitude Test →
From the University of Virginia Medical School, this is a pretty interesting tool to define your characteristics and personality in terms of successful traits found within certain medical specialties.

“The practice is built on the Ideal Medical Practice model, wherein the doctor works solo, with little or no staff, relying on an electronic medical record, and maintaining...
