Clinical Researchers In the News
I've been having trouble with the mBlog software killing off my entries during editing, so please pardon me if there are several sent at once while I try to catch up.
I'd like to bring to your attention the following report of the AAMC in which they call for schools to specifically work to create the next generation of clinical researchers in their educational process.
Promoting Translational and Clinical Science: The Critical Role of Medical Schools and Teaching Hospitals (Report of the AAMC's Task Force II on Clinical Research) May 2006 [62 Pages, PDF 1 MB]: https://services.aamc.org/Publications/index.cfm?fuseaction=Product.displayForm&prd_id=150&prv_id=176
Next, did you see the International Clinical Trials Day? This was last month, so I am sorry to be late bringing this to your attention. A good idea, and I hope it receives broader attention next year. For the record, mark your calendars for May 19th.

Also of potential interest, the American Academy of Microbiology has just issued a new report on "good bugs" -- "how beneficial microbes could represent the future of medicine, with the potential to treat a variety of diseases in humans and animals from diarrhea and eczema to gum disease and autoimmune disorders."

Last but far from least for today's entry, the Public Library of Sciences has released a new journal title in collaboration with the AAMC on clinical research.
