Introducing Midwest Clinic Blogs. Welcome to the home of Midwest Clinic blogs. Why blogs? One of the most exciting aspects of the Midwest Clinic is how it brings together so many diverse people, not only people from different backgrounds, states and countries, but of different ages, experience levels, and disciplines. To increase this opportunity to learn from one another, we are inviting participants in the Midwest Clinic to write about their experiences. Through these blogs, we hope not only to extend the sense of community that is such an integral part of our annual December gathering, but also, through the sharing of insights and experiences, to show how you might get more out of your own participation in the Midwest Clinic. As the Midwest Clinic looks to expand its services beyond the annual conference, increased communication will play a vital role. If you are interested in starting a blog about your Midwest Clinic experiences, or have any recommendations or requests for these blogs, please e-mail . If you have an RSS reader that can read XML and would like to be notified when new blogs are posted, add the link to your reader. http://www.midwestclinic.org/blog/rss.xml Blogs
