2007 Medical Weblog Awards Sponsored by ScrubsGallery.com: The Polls Are Open!

Filed under: Medgadget Exclusive , Net News


The 2006 Medical Blog Awards

After a careful analysis and consideration, we are excited to present to everyone the group of finalists of the 2007 Medical Weblog Awards. But first, a couple of notes.

We would like to thanks everyone for nominating so many great medical blogs for consideration. Literally dozens of candidates in each and every category were named. As we personally know, each blog is someone's labor of love, and it is not an easy work to maintain. So as editors of Medgadget we took the job of selecting the finalists very seriously. We would like to thank Allen from GruntDoc (winner of best medical blog back in 2003--and he is getting better all the time!), Joshua from Kidney Notes and Enrico from Mexico Medical Student for their input. Everyone involved in the selection process did a most excellent job!

The other note concerns our very own Bertalan Meskó, whose website ScienceRoll was nominated for Best Tech Blog before he joined Medgadget's editorial team. Since some of our panel members strongly felt that ScienceRoll is one of the best medtech sites out there (we wouldn't hire him otherwise, would we?), the decision was made to allow his blog to be the finalist. If his site sucks big time, the votes will show it. Remember: each vote counts!

The folks at ScrubsGallery.com are providing winners with some seriously exciting prizes this year. The winner of the 2007 Best Medical Weblog award gets the new Amazon Kindle from Amazon.com.

Winners in other categories will be awarded with the latest edition of The Cambridge Illustrated History of Medicine (Cambridge University Press; New Ed edition).


And, finally... PLEASE MEET THE FINALISTS, and the voting booths!

    What happened to the only category worth being in, "Worst medical/health blog"? I was nominated for that a few years back and was very proud.

    I vote for Val Jones' Voice of Reason, a consistently interesting and entertaining medical blog.

    How about adding some new categories next year, like "Best Nursing Blog", "Best Allied Health Blog", and "Best Alternative Health Blog"?

    I agree that Dr Val's blog is consistantly good, but it was established in December 2006, not in 2007.
