Committed to sharing Internal Medicine focused lectures as free open access medical education.
Times flies and Louisville Lectures has had quite the year already. For the past few months we’ve been working hard to start and continue new adventures with Little Lectures, but we’d like to take a moment to give special attention to our first Internal Medicine Lectures.
