According to http://www.publichealthnewswire.org/?p=3262 and http://www.ama-assn.org/amednews/2012/04/23/prl20423.htm:
More medical students are pursuing degrees in other areas amidst our changing healthcare landscape; in the case of these students, an MD just doesn't quite cut it anymore. This includes MBA, PhD/DrPH, JD, and MPH.
Although I'm currently a Public Health student (MPH), this got me thinking about my own self since I'll most likely be working closely with nurses/physicians at some point in my career. (Come to think of it, a few months ago I spoke with a parish nurse about health programs at a local church - these nurses are also sometimes called faith community nurses, church nurses, or health ministry nurses.) But also in the way I can be more well-rounded once I step into the job world again. I know some of my classmates are thinking of pursuing more schooling as a physician's assistant, doctor, nurse, or lawyer after this.
What are your thoughts on being a more well-rounded job candidate? What skills are REALLY needed in this "changing healthcare landscape" (e.g., accounting, marketing, budgeting, business...)?

Stuffed Green Peppers
Occasionally, when green peppers go on sale and we're craving a lighter meal, I'll make stuffed peppers. With the weather heating up again, I'm reminded of them again (not a bad memory!).
These particular ones are stuffed with quinoa with melted cottage cheese topping (it DOES look a bit like ricotta, doesn't it?). Surprisingly quite filling...though I seem to remember getting hungry a bit afterwards.

Plum and Nectarine Tart with Apricot Glaze
Still going through my picture archives...but we're starting to figure out the camera situation - good news for all!
Here is a plum (in the center) and nectarine (on the outer borders) tart that I made for my partner's friend's birthday gathering. Incidentally, my tart WAS the dessert/cake...Thankfully, I had a good response (or so they say)!
