Since the military no longer has a CME budget, I was just curious what you guys are setting aside for CME out of your salary and what you're doing with it.
I was currently thinking of setting aside about $1400/year and investing in an annual Medstudy Qbank ($250), PedsRap Podcast ($400), a new textbook each year ($100), AAP Membership w/ Prep Qbank and Pediatrics Journal ($500), and journal subscriptions to NEJM, Journal of Perinatology, and Pediatric Hospitalist ($150). I could also splurge and add a 4 day driving distance Pediatric update conference to the schedule ($1000 including hotel) but honestly the conferences I've been to have mostly reminded me why I never went to class in medical school so I don't think its worth it if its my own money. Thoughts/opinions?
