What others say:
I just wanted to commend you on the Self
Learning interactive sessions. I find SLI to be one of the most reliable,
unbiased and most importantly, practical source of information. I am
constantly acquiring new knowledge that I have been able to incorporate
into my practice, usually with good results.
It is one of
the most efficient sources of new applicable knowledge. I am always
looking forward to answering the multiple-choice questions. The
educational points are also extremely useful in instances where I need a
detailed analysis or references.
Keep up the excellent work and thank you.
A. Damji MD, CCFP, FCFP
"Self Learning is one of those secret treasures. I have found that it
offers me a quick and fun way to keep up with new information that's
relevant to my practice. The interactive, on-line version has been a
wonderful addition."
Peter McKean, Kensington, PEI. CFPC President
2002-2003
"As a long-time Self Learning subscriber, I have always looked forward
to each issue. With its variety of questions and educational points, I am
impressed by the currency of the topics and source articles chosen and
their relevance to my current practice. I also like the idea that some of
the topics and source articles might have some controversy associated with
them. Knowing that each issue has been created by a group of my peers
gives me comfort that the knowledge that I am gaining has a bias only
towards Family Medicine."
Morris Rotbard, Toronto, ON Subscriber
from 1991, Editor from 2002.
"Self Learning is the easiest way to help keep my practice
evidence-based. There is a bewildering array of literature out there, and
having a Canadian group of my peers reviewing it and presenting me with
the most useful material is great."
J. Galt Wilson, Prince George,
