Arrived in Toronto – Medicine 2.0 proceedings available
September 4, 2008
After a walking tour of one of the great world cities, I am gearing up for Medicine 2.0 Congress. The proceedings are already available on the conference website. It’s a nice mix of patient-focused Web 2.0, one of the few places to hear research done in this space and discussion of uses of Web 2.0 in medical education and research.
In addition, the international representation is unique including presenters from Australia, Singapore, Eastern and Western Europe, USA and Canada.
Medicine 2.0 has certainly seen adoption from around the world. I am particularly looking forward to presentations on PatientsLikeMe.com and medical education/research topics.
More postings during and after the conference.
