Medical surveys are an easy way to make a few bucks at a good hourly rate (well, maybe at least for a resident), and there are multiple sites offering surveys to physicians. The caveat is that, of course, most survey sponsors are typically looking for board-certified physicians with multiple years of experience, particularly in sub-specialties. The less experience you have, the more you need to be prepared to get screened out of what seem like promising survey opportunities.

Most radiologists have heard of Moore’s Law. It was named after Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel. In 1965, he observed that the number of components on a microchip had been doubling every year. He also predicted that this would continue for at least ten years. In 1975, he revised this to every two years. Rather oddly, this has been uncannily accurate for the intervening 50 years.
