Welcome to the misc.education.medical Frequently Asked Questions list
 (FAQ), also known as the Medical Education FAQ.  This article answers
 questions commonly asked on the misc.education.medical newsgroup,
 which discusses medical education (MD and DO training issues).  It is
 crossposted to several groups with readers interested in medical
 education.  This document should always be available on the World
 Wide Web at:

 Comments about the FAQ itself are invited and can be sent to me at

 inaccurate information are especially welcome.  If you have a
 question that is not answered in this FAQ article, try asking it on
 misc.education.medical.

IMPORTANT NOTE 

 If you are looking for answers to questions about medical conditions
 or procedures, the proper newsgroups to read and post to are the
 sci.med.* groups.  If you are seeking medical advice, consult a
 licensed physician.  The newsgroup misc.education.medical is for
 discussions of medical education only.
