About Dr. Rob Lamberts
Dr. Rob Lamberts practices full-time in his primary care private practice in the southeastern US. He is board certified in internal medicine and pediatrics, and has doctored for the past 15 years. He got his medical degree at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, PA, and did his residency training at Indiana University Hospitals in Indianapolis, IN. He has been very involved with advocating electronic medical records, and his practice has received national recognition for its accomplishments in this area. He’s a recognized national authority on this subject and has lectured throughout the US. He is author of the popular medical blog, Musings of a Distractible Mind (http://distractible.org). The blog has gained notoriety not only in his insights into medicine, the healthcare industry, and what it’s like to be a doctor, but also for his sometimes offbeat humor (llamas somehow show up frequently in his writing). His blog has been featured in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and Medical Economics magazine. He regularly writes for several other medical online publications. When not doing all this other stuff, he likes to sit back, play his guitar, and wonder why it is he has never been to North Dakota.
