Part of what makes the Internet such a great way to communicate information is its ability to connect to additional, related information. We can often follow a topic further to a great depth limited solely by our available time and motivation. Along this line, sometimes 10-12 minutes in a podcast episode regarding a particular topic is not enough to cover concepts as completely as desired.
Thankfully, the web provides lots of ways to provide additional content, in varied forms, to supplement other content and further extend knowledge. Here at Clintcast.com, you can find
supplemental articles in the Clintcast Articles page that relate to ad extend many of the topics addressed in the podcasts. Likewise, the Forums provide an excellent way to socially draw upon your fellow Care Crowd members to glean more insights about these ideas and strategies, especially in real-world implementation. Be sure to check out these additional resources to more fully investigate the issues discussed in the podcasts. Better still, share them with others while adding your knowledge and experience to the package!
This April, I was interviewed in an article by Gary Tetz in Long-Term Living magazine. It is a fun, yet engaging article in which we discuss the current economic state and its effects on the healthcare profession, the opportunities that are presenting themselves as a result as well as tips for weathering this economic storm. I encourage you to give it a read! If you do not subscribe to the magazine, you can find the article online as well. Enjoy!

Spring is in the air and alive with growth!
Likewise, the Clintcast website itself is growing like mad. Several new features have been added lately to make the site even more user-friendly and to facilitate the interaction of our Care Crowd community. We are building a home for healthcare professionals worldwide to come together, to learn from each other and to share ideas to make healthcare as successful as possible.

You can start simple - when in doubt, ask a question. No one has all the answers, yet everyone has at least one question, even if it is simply a call for ideas.
