Abstract
The Medical Bloggers' Panel aims to give deeper insight into medical blogging; why it is beneficial to maintain a medical blog and how one can start their own blogs. The Panel also plans to discuss the dangers web 2.0 can cause to medical professionals in the medical blogosphere and to present some medical blogging careers.
Medical blogs allow the hospital, medical, and health/wellness management communities to build bridges to populations and individuals that have traditionally existed as the 'other' waiting in the wings - peoples at the periphery of medical practice, including patients.
Blogs are communication vectors that, properly harnessed via distinctive voices, allow us to connect to diverse constituencies. These virtual conversations often move offline into the realm of practical, everyday strategy development, improving the overall practice of medical research and care delivery across an increasingly diverse and fragmented care continuum.
Jennifer McCabe Gorman of Health Management RX (healthmgmtrx.blogspot.com) will discuss the role of medical blogs in terms of creating open lines of communication that allow the medical community to inexpensively cross - pollinate best practices from outside industries.
Sam Solomon of the National Review of Medicine's editors' blog, Canadian Medicine (canadianmedicine.blogspot.com), will provide a Canadian perspective on medical blogging and discuss the question of anonymous authorship.
Keith Kaplan of the Digital Pathology Blog (www.tissuepathology.typepad.com) will discuss the role of blogging about technologies and issues potentially disruptive to conventional practice in pathology. He will also explore applications blogs may have for a platform to share content beyond stories and ideas.
Peter Murray from Health Informatics Blog (www.hi-blogs.info )will present experiences of developing collaborative models of blogging to support professional development, and discuss how such collaborative models could help support communities of practice for health professionals, patients and others.
Bertalan Meskó from Scienceroll (www.scienceroll.com) will talk about the advantages and dangers of medical blogging through the story of his blog. He will also discuss the career and networking opportunities a medical blog can provide from a medical student's perspective.
