Publisher Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW) has announced the launch of www.5minutemd.com, a new online community for family medicine practitioners. The new site builds on the success of LWW’s popular 5-Minute Medical Clinical Consult 2010. It gives health professionals the ability to connect, exchange ideas, belong to groups, take part in forum discussions, post blogs, view videos from 5-Minute, stay updated on events relating to primary care, test their knowledge with a monthly quiz, access free clinical content from the 5-Minute companion Website, invite friends, and more.
In addition to blog postings and forum discussions, 5minutemd offers ‘Facts-in-Five,’ a monthly five-question, multi-media quiz where participants can enter to assess their knowledge and win prizes. The questions focus on a particular medical topic and include a video clip. Participants can challenge friends, view results from other participants, and link friends to the quiz via Twitter and Facebook.
Health professionals can also download a search Widget to their desktops that links them to free clinical content from 5-Minute’s companion website, www.5mcc.com.
