I've had some people asking for recommendations for a medical reference product that can be accessed anywhere. One option is eMedicine from WebMD. eMedicine touts its 8,000 professional contributors, and 6000 topics.
New eMedicine articles undergo several levels of physician peer review plus an additional review by a PharmD prior to publication. Sources for subsequent revisions of articles include the author, a physician or PharmD member of the editorial board, user-driven feedback, and systematically reviewed medical literature.
eMedicine has been around for over 10 years and in 2006 was bought by WebMD, a provider of consumer health information. WebMD is like reading a mainstream health magazine, with seamlessly integrated ads, and it's advertised on national television, so your patients have probably looked at it.
eMedicine is aimed at physicians, and is paired with Medscape, a site with medical news, selected full-text journal articles, and cme, and a company also purchased by WebMD.
Registration may be required to access all features, but there is much material available free of charge, though with integrated advertising.
