FREE to a Good Home : Old AudioDigest CDs

The MMC Library has 1 year's worth of 2009 AudioDigest CDs available for FREE. Although these audioCDs are too old to apply for CE credits, they do still offer excellent information for Physicians, PAs, Nurses, and other health professionals.


Available Subject areas include the following :

Anesthesiology
Emergency Medicine
Family Practice (on tape and CD )
Gastroenterology
General Surgery
Internal Medicine
Obstetrics / Gynecology
Ophthalmology
Orthopaedics
Otolaryngology
Pediatrics
Psychiatry
Urology

Also available on Audio :
Chest Medicine
ACCEL
Practical Reviews in Radiology
Practical Reviews in Nuclear Medicine

Look for them on the used book sale table. Come early. These are HOT items!

Too far from Mercy? No sweat! I'm willing to inter-office a selection of 10-15 audio CDs anywhere within Affinity.    Just tell me which series you're interested in.

Why are we giving them away?
--limited shelving space for audiovisuals
--CE credits are available only for 3 years since date of publication
--Our libraries emphasize the most up-to-date info, so we want to make room for more recent issues.
-- Newer (current) editions are available on AudioCD and MP3 files that can be downloaded to your computer or MP3 player. Contact Michele Matucheski for more details on accessing the AudioDigest MP3 files from your desktop.
