Editorials, How Web 2.0 is changing medicine, Dean Giustini
BMJ 2006;333:1283-1284 (23 December)
"One of the best blogs in medicine is Ves Dimov's Clinical Cases and Images - Blog. It contains a rich collection of "presurfed" material for busy clinicians and features interactivity and timely discussion. Dimov is also a supporter of medical librarian bloggers. Why waste time fumbling with search engines when you can consult this blog for timely updates? As well as case discussions, Ves provides links to today's medical headlines from Reuters and clinical images via a dynamic, free photo sharing tool called Flickr. One of his slide presentations "Web 2.0 in medicine" is available on Slideshare (itself a fantastic new 2.0 tool). Clinical Cases and Images is a virtual laboratory for doctors and medical librarians interested in Web 2.0."
The website has been a finalist in the Annual Medical Weblog Awards multiple times in the categories for Best Medical Weblog, Best Clinical Sciences Weblog and Best Medical Technologies/Informatics Weblog.
Dr. Dimov was credited with first using the term "Web 2.0 in Medicine" in articles and presentations in October 2005. Click here to see his 2009 update of the presentation Web 2.0/Social Media in Medicine.
