The article presents the study on the choices of electronic drug information resources among medical residents. The study involved an online survey of residents in July 2012 that includes simulated drug information questions. The results reportedly revealed that more than half of residents did not receive formal training on drug information. It concludes that residents should undergo further training on information resource selection to help them choose higher quality resources.
