The “Ben Lawner Academic Rant”

I don’t have much of a voice right now, thanks to a nasty URI that I am dealing with. So, as I finish up the June (will now be July) episode of Educators’ Edition I thought I would share with you a rant from one of my esteemed colleagues, Dr. Ben Lawner….So, sit back, relax, and listen to this incredibly bright guy go off! As a disclaimer, I should tell you that the both of us love our jobs, love academics, and love working with students and residents.

The July episode will cover the use of educational technologies and social media in medical education. And, believe me when I say this, you won’t want to miss it!
