Overview

The resident survival guide project is a high quality collaborative effort between the editor, associate and assistant wikidoc editors with prior expertise in medical education
and training in various specialties. This project is designed in a simple but efficient way to address common medical conditions encountered by medical graduates in training such as interns, residents and house staff officers. Some of the goals for this project is to enhance the abilities of medical and surgical residents in various specialties to properly evaluate, diagnose and treat patients presenting acutely with common medical problems. It also implements the evidence based approach that healthcare professionals should follow in common public health conditions.

Logo

We chose to design a logo of a siren for the resident survival guide project as that will facilitate access from any page for that particular topic on WikiDoc. It also characterizes the urgent nature of the medical condition and the limited time available before the viewer will need to take action.

Goals

• Provide residents in various medical specialties with a quick and effective way to diagnose and treat acute medical problems without having to read a monograph during emergency situations.
• Educate medical students and resident with the newest approaches and standard of care for common acute medical emergencies
• Reduce medical errors commonly encountered by interns and residents due to long work hours
• Implement evidence based medicine and recent guidelines

Who Can Contribute

The resident survival guide project prefers input from medical professionals with prior graduate training or practice experiences.

• Medical and surgical residents and fellows
• Attending physicians
• Lecturers, instructors, associate professors and full professors in a medical school in the field of contribution
• Post doctoral fellows with prior or current medical practice experience
