The Results Are In: Age vs. Typing Speed in Medicine

Thanks to all who offered to take my highly scientific study (not!) of internet-saavy medical professionals that utilize the blog-o-sphere. I added all twenty-nine of your responses to an Excel spreadsheet and produced a scatter plot (complete with linear regression line and correlation coefficient) for your amusement:

Note that the effect of a prior typing class nor staff rank were not included in the analysis. (I'm saving the same study comparing subspecialies for my next peer-reviewed journal article.)

It seems the younger generation will be well-equipped to work with the electronic medical record, courtesy of text-messaging and gaming.
