MedPage Today is “putting breaking medical news into practice.”
this resource is a free website developed by MedPage Today and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, focusing on medical news headlines. The site covers breaking medical news and analyzes it so that physicians can use the information in their daily practice. The goal is to be quick but thorough, and i imagine it would be immensely useful to have this resource at my disposal if i had a patient come in and say, “what do you know about that article i read in today’s newspaper.”
there’s a ‘campaign ’08’ tab to keep you informed on what the presidential candidates are saying on a variety of health topics. there are free continuing med ed credits if you register. you can sort your news by specialty (topics in left-hand frame) or link to blogs written by four well-known physician bloggers.
this looks like a very nice resource that i will evaluate further via the rss feed and will report back if i notice something else about medpage today that you need to know about.
p.s. you don’t really mean ‘literally,’ medpage today, do you? “We literally put each doctor and Expert Patient on the same page.” you’re just testing us to see if we’re paying attention?
I picked up some information from the booth and I think the website is a brilliant idea.
