Although we routinely review multiple proposals for Internet Sites daily, we concentrate our resources on projects which will undoubtedly influence the practice of medicine on the Internet. One of the most useful sources of information for physicians on the internet is the NLM's Medline Search Engine . This site allows for retrieval of abstracts from a large number of medical journals. This search tool allows for keyword searches limited to a series of journals within a specialty. Through this automated system, physicians can create their own Curriculum Vitale and Office Information online.
Physicians can even upload a picture to personalize their site.
The goal of this project has been to help patients better understand the credentials of their doctors and to allow physicians to create websites that they can utilize in their marketing efforts. This service is being provided FREE of charge to certified physicians. Orthoguide - the first Orthopaedic Specific Internet WebSite. The mission of Orthoguide is to provide a Site where both physicians and patients can find orthopaedic relevant information. This combination allows for both category based as well as keyword based search methods.
