If you haven't yet read Dr. Gawande's Commencement Address to the Stanford Medical School, then I would strongly recommend check it out:
Dr. Gawande has emerged as the leading physician voice communicating the many shortcomings and challenges of the American health care system. Whether you agree or disagree with him, policymakers and media hang on his every word. I would urge pathologists to become very familiar with his gospel (as I am sure many already are) and likewise to offer their opinions.
A new free online CME by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is being directed towards pathologists who have patients affected by non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The online activity is free and will consist of 4 different activities.
Each activity will present different case scenarios using the latest treatment options and diagnostic markers to help pathologists improve patient outcomes.
To learn more about this free online CME activity from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and how you as a pathologist can get up-to-date information on the diagnosis and management of patients with NSCLC please visit: http://www.jhasim1.com/2010-14/index1.aspx .

What is it about Dr. Gawande that inspires such intense feelings?
I guess it's better than being null, budd and boring :)
