Medical news service MedPage Today, US, has announced that it has been named the Best Overall Web Publication by the American Society of Healthcare Publication Editors (ASHPE) in ASHPE's 2009 annual awards competition. MedPage Today provides 24/7 real-time coverage and continuing medical education credit to physicians and other clinicians.
A first-time entrant, MedPage Today took the top spot and earned the Gold Award in the ASHPE competition's Online Category. A panel of well-respected business journalists and academics judged the entries against the publication's mission, the relevance to the category for which it was being considered, and its significance to the publication's target audience.
