If you were to take a look at my bookcases, you would classify me as a book hoarder. Yes, it’s true I have been collecting book. Some have been with me since college.

The always-innovative, premiere educator Dr. Rob Rogers (Univ of Maryland) is hosting an international faculty development conference in November 2011. I’m guessing that this course is also open to U.S. physicians as well.

First off, Dr. David Marcus (@EMIMDoc) from Long Island Jewish Medical Center, NY gave many of us blogs a kind shout-out.
Also, many “iReporters” were on scene to live-tweet various events. Take a look at some of the posts below. Click on #SAEM12 hashtag to see the whole Twitter feed. I remember hearing that there were over 600 tweets!
