Actually, read much more and kept up much more when I was working. There is a CME(Continuing Medical Education) requirement in NY as well as from the ABIM(American Board of Internal Medicine). However, I had to keep up with a large number of subjects, now, only a few. And I talk with my friend who is an infectious disease specialist frequently.
