MDgroove.com™ Announces Launch of On-Demand Learning Program on “Echocardiographic Assessment of Pulmonary Hypertension and Right Ventricular Function”
Guelph, June 10, 2008: Meducom International Inc.® announced the introduction of a new On-Demand Learning program, entitled “Echocardiographic Assessment of Pulmonary Hypertension and Right Ventricular Function”, at its web portal for Canadian physicians, www.MDgroove.com™.
On-Demand Learning provides Canadian physicians with a powerful and rapid i-learning platform through which credible content, developed by respected Canadian experts, is delivered. The platform integrates audio and visual media, animations and personal reflection and assessment tools. One or more patient case studies support the delivery of evidence-informed and guideline-supported medicine using an online adaptation of the familiar “slide” presentation. Each On-Demand Learning program at MDgroove.com™ is designed to adhere to the principles of adult learning (“andragogy”) and among key considerations is the accomodation of the many learning styles of the physician audience so that all program participants may benefit.
The program has been co-sponsored by the Centre for CME, Faculty of Medicine, McGill University, and features content organized, prepared and presentd by Dr. James Tam of Winnipeg, MB and Dr. George Honos of Montreal, QC.
Physicians licensed to practise medicine in Canada who are members of the MDgroove.com™ community are eligible to participate in this program. Membership at MDgroove.com for Canadian physicians is free and registration is simple.
On program completion, specialists belonging to the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Canada may claim 1.5 Section 1 credits. Primary care physicians interested in this program may document 1.5 MAINPRO-M2 credits in their CPD diaries upon completion of this program.
What is MDgroove.com™?
MDgroove.com™ is the next-generation web community that extends the types of experiences and activities that Canadian physicians can have on the internet, unleashing the power of the participatory web (“Web 2.0”) and marrying this functionality with a fun and friendly 1970s design motif.

- Work through (and share!) challenging patient simulations
- Participate in dynamic, on-demand accredited continuing medical education (CME)
- Access up-to-the-minute medical news, weather and hot podcasts
- Use one of the web’s most functional calendar of events, with listings of international, national, regional and local medical and CME events
- Share opinions – about almost anything! – through polls, a web forum and a blog (all available at a secure site on each member’s personal page at the groovePad)
