Editor's note

Dear readers,

HCPro is conducting market research for a product we would like to launch this year and looking for some quick feedback from you. We’re in the process of developing an updated and electronic version of The Resident’s Orientation Handbook that residents could easily access on their computers or mobile devices. Do you think this product would be helpful and why? Do you think residents prefer electronic resources over printed materials? What topics would you like to see addressed in this resource?

If you have any feedback to share, please send it to editor Karen Kondilis at kkondilis@hcpro.com. For providing feedback, you will be given a free on-demand webinar. Thanks!
