I recently receive an e-mail newsletter from this job site called PhysicianCrossroads.com

I've only taken a glance, but the website looks more like a portal for many different recruiters, hospitals, and organizations. Also, it appears like the portal lists jobs for many different types of healthcare professionals. Hence, if you're looking for a new opportunity, it may be worth exploring.

Looking for FREE continuing medical education CME/CE?

If you're looking for some free CME/CE credits before the year ends, then take a look at CMEcorner.com

You'll find certified CME/CE programs for physicians, PAs, nurses, NPs, and pharmacists. Most of the programs are online, but some are via CD-ROM or printed monograph. You can order programs and have them delivered to you for free.

CMEcorner.com also has programs specifically for managed care professionals. These programs are developed with the NAMCP. Managed care medical directors and pharmacy directors are often looking for CME/CE credits and they are generally less interested in clinical programs and want education focused on healthcare issues/costs/public health/etc.
