Rapid Response:

Lifelong Learning

I enjoyed the article by Teunissen and Dorman addressing lifelong learning. They cited several foraging tools (eg, Journal Watch). I call to attention another tool which I have been editing and publishing monthly for the past 22 years. It is aimed at primary care clinicians. Practical Pointers for Primary Care is a public-service publication. It is available free of any charge by e-mail attachment and on the Internet (www.practicalpointers.org) It receives over 10 000 "hits" a month from many countries. A semi-yearly index makes searching easier.
