Let’s Play a Game – JAMA Network Challenge!

Posted on by

Does game-based learning interest you? The JAMA Network recently launched a gaming app called the JAMA Network Challenge. It is a fun, challenging way to hone your diagnostic and management skills using case reports and images from across The JAMA Network of publications. Test yourself against the clock and against your peers, and get the answers in real time as you work through each challenge, deciding what you would do next. Based on case studies from JAMA, JAMA Dermatology, JAMA Surgery, and JAMA Ophthalmology, the app allows you to improve your score – and your diagnostic skills – by allowing you to review the questions you missed.

Endnote Domain Websites are No Longer Blocked at MSK! (@sloan_kettering)

Posted on by

Great news for Endnote users! The www.endnote.com and www.myendnoteweb.com websites can be accessed from devices on the MSK computer IP range once again.

Endnote users can now go directly to the Endnote website’s “downloads” section anytime they wish to obtain a journal output style that they need (among other things) – without having to endure the delays involved with having to go through a middleman.

As always – all are welcome to contact the library with any questions or concerns about the Endnote program or the Endnote domain websites.
 

NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs)

Posted on by

There’s still time to apply for the NIH Loan Repayment Programs, established by Congress in order to recruit qualified professionals into biomedical and biobehavioral research careers.

In exchange for a two-year commitment towards NIH mission-relevant research, the LRP’s will repay up to $70,000 of your eligible student loan debt. The programs aim to counteract the financial pressures that may be forcing scientists to abandon research careers for higher-paying private practice. There are five extramural programs that applicants can choose from: Clinical Research, Pediatric Research, Health Disparities Research, Contraception & Fertility Research, and Clinical Research for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds.

The current application cycle closes on November 16, 2015. For more information, see the Application Process Interactive Roadmap.
