\"\"<\/a>This study<\/a> from the Mayo Clinic assessed residents' reading habits and preferred educational resources at 5 internal medicine training programs via a survey.<\/p>

78% of residents reported reading less than 7 hours a week. <\/p>

81% of residents read in response to patient care encounters. <\/p>

The preferred educational format was electronic, and UpToDate was the big winner among the surveyed group:<\/p>

- 95% of residents cited UpToDate as the most effective resource for knowledge acquisition
- 89% of residents reported that UpToDate was their first choice for answering clinical questions<\/p>

The study authors concluded that residents spent little time reading and sought knowledge primarily from electronic resources. Most residents read in the context of patient care. <\/p>

The abstract does not mention anything about social media sources such as Wikipedia, blogs, and Twitter, but the residents encounter a lot of those through Google searches.<\/p>
