This
website started as a personal challenge, pursuing the goal of combining
my interest in computers and my career in Medicine. It now has grown
to include diverse sections as my programming understanding continues
to improve.
Plese
feel free to browse around and make any useful comments.

The
launching of our 2nd largest project ever was a success. The fully
functional INTRANET for the University of Medicine
and Dentistry of New Jersey's Internal Medicine Residency Website

features it includes are:

to current residents.

residents and between housestaff and attendings.

all with a MySQL backbone for reliability and safety.

This
project was a joint effort by the main authors, Alex
Khot and Andrew
Polmear and around 40 contributors. It represented a great challenge
and lots of evidence-based fun.
We have redesigned the SNIPPETS section, rewritting
the download manager, whose main innovation is the
ability to track downloads and make this information
public via a log file accesible via a link right nexto
to the file display itself.
A
new format has been given to the E-XPRESS section, now featuring
a pop up display, while cleaning up the code.

Residency Program at UMDNJ is now running! So far
only 2 minor bugs have been detected and -of course-
fixed. This project represents our 2nd lar. We are
very proud to be able to make a mark at our dear teaching
institution. Many thanks go to one individual without
whom this project wouldn't be alive today, Dr. Neil
Kothari. He offered a receptive ear and continous
support throught the creation of this brain baby.

website.
