Each academic year, NMPRA will award $500.00 to a Med-Peds resident planning to complete a clinical Internal Medicine or Pediatric elective in the developing world during residency.

Applications for the International Health Travel Grant will be due July 15th, 2010. The NMPRA Executive Board will serve as the selection committee and the award winner will be notified within a month of this deadline.

Musings of a Distractible Mind
"Reading this blog you may get the impression that I can’t make up my mind if I am serious or silly. Yet I think we all need a portion of both in our lives. I do my best to keep the balance and hope you enjoy the experience."

Stories in Medicine
I am a physician practicing Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. This blog chronicles my life first as a medical student, then as a resident. It is about stories of medicine. If you think 'Scrubs' or 'Grey's Anatomy' tells the stories of a resident's life, then here is what it is really like (for one resident, anyway).
