Web 2.0 Services for Medicine: A Comprehensive List
One of the great things about Twitter is how I can subscribe to other peoples' feeds who point out great resources. That's how I found this awesome blog post by Heidi Allen (who I'm now following on Twitter). She points out a great Canadian wiki that maintains a comprehensive list of resources that I think will be quite useful to all of you physicians and medical professionals. It's called the HLWiki Canada. Here are links to the various pages they maintain (as always just click the text to take you to the site).
- Top Web 2.0 Services In Medicine 2010
- Medical Video Sharing Sites
- Podcasts and Videocasts
- iPhone Apps (this includes all sorts of apps like clinical decision making tools, etc).
- Medical Sites for Mobile Devices (includes non-Apple apps for you Blackberry, Android, and other users)
You can get a full list of all their lists here
I hope this will direct you to even more useful resources. Enjoy!

This blog, "It Ain't Rocket Surgery" is intended to help busy health-care professionals find useful online and mobile resources that will enhance their self-education and professional research efforts, or point out important topics of discussion related to online information and content. The blog's title is a Yogi Berra style mash-up of two common phrases, "it ain't brain surgery" and "it ain't rocket science". I hope it will be casual, fun, insightful, and most of all, educational.

I currently serve ACCP as the Vice President of Publications and Editorial Resources, as well as the Executive Editor of CHEST, the ACCP’s flagship journal. In the past 15 years ACCP has focused on growing and developing the editorial, technological, and business aspects of CHEST. I have been quite honored and fortunate to work with two outstanding editors in chief and an excellent editorial team to support and build upon the reputations of CHEST and ACCP as world leaders in clinical medical publishing. We are constantly striving to make the journal and other ACCP content as accessible and useful to clinicians as possible.
When not at work, I like to spend time at home with my wife, two great danes, and iguana -- as well as scuba diving with sharks, collecting original comic book artwork, exploring the digital world, and searching for good BBQ.
Your feedback about the blog is always appreciated. So are tips on good BBQ joints.
