Why MDgroove.com™?
Surveys of Canadian physicians have indicated that the medical internet is in need of improvement. While use of the internet amongst clinicians continues to increase, with very high penetration among Canadian specialists, data indicates that doctors have not yet developed loyalty to a preferred ‘all-encompassing’ website that incorporates a full spectrum of current medical news, e-learning opportunities and useful services and features. Results from a series of CME Needs Assessments, including different specialties and the primary care audience, have revealed that approximately 30% of all physicians have yet to try CME on the internet, and another 30% expressed disappointment with current offerings. Market research suggests the need for a multifaceted web community such as MDgroove.com™ to meet the growing needs of modern Canadian physicians.
“We believe that MDgroove.com™ brings together news, learning and social networking in a powerful and unique way that will truly support Canadian physician engagement, collaboration and the creation of community,” said Todd Kasenberg of MDgroove.com™. “MDgroove.com™ was designed with strong ‘bones’ – a flexible architecture and the best use of modern Web 2.0 technology to help physicians have fun while learning and working towards optimal outcomes for their patients.” Noted Kasenberg, “We believe it’s right on!”
