Una residente y una adjunta senior reflexionan sobre el valor educativo de las penalidades de la residencia

Dos artículos de opinión del New England de la semana pasada. Escritos en primera persona, ¿políticamente incorrectos? y muy sinceros.

Victoria Johnson, M.D.

N Engl J Med 2013; 369:2278-2279. December 12, 2013.DOI: 10.1056/NEJMp1307514

"Getting Through the Night"

Perri Klass, M.D.

N Engl J Med 2013; 369:2279-2281. December 12, 2013. DOI: 10.1056/NEJMp1312946
