Dissect Medicine - Collaborative Medical News Website

["Nikodem, Jennifer" <J.Nikodem@macmillan.co.uk>]

Readers of the list may be interested in this announcement about 
Dissect Medicine (www.dissectmedicine.com), a new free 
collaborative medical news website from Macmillan Medical 
Communications.

Launched in June 2006, Dissect Medicine is a collaborative 
medical news website, which indexes and ranks international 
medical news. It spans general interest articles to basic 
research and is the first of its kind.

Dissect Medicine users submit news items for review with tags and 
keywords. These are then ranked by the user group. This ensures 
that only the most relevant and influential articles are 
displayed as headline stories.  Users are required to register 
online in order to participate, but the service is completely 
free.

The Dissect Medicine website has been designed to appeal to a 
broad spectrum of the medical community, including clinicians, 
healthcare professionals, medical students as well as the general 
public. Hundreds of news items on topics related to diseases, 
clinical practice and biomedical research are indexed on Dissect 
Medicine and the site already has a dedicated and growing 
following.

Multiple language editions of Dissect Medicine are being 
developed in languages including Japanese, German and Spanish. 
These will be launching in the coming months.
