Little Falls, New Jersey (PRWEB) -- MedPage Today
is pleased to welcome KevinMD.com to MedPage Today?s Related SitesTM,
effective today. This newly launched initiative from MedPage Today, the
online daily breaking medical news service for medical professionals,
presents the blog sites of medicine?s leading social media voices and
critical thinkers while preserving their editorial independence.
The man behind KevinMD.com is Kevin Pho, MD, a primary care physician
with an internal medicine practice in Nashua, New Hampshire. Writing and
curating the best viewpoints of a primary care physician, Pho is social
media?s leading physician voice. In his widely read medical blog, which
has more than 25,000 RSS subscribers and 19,000 Twitter followers, he
provides provocative commentary on breaking medical news and seeks to
give readers a behind-the-scenes look at the worlds of medicine and
healthcare. KevinMD.com was voted the best medical blog of 2008.
KevinMD.com is cited regularly by major media, including The Wall Street
Journal, The New York Times, British Medical Journal, SmartMoney
Magazine, The Detroit Free Press, Forbes.com, NPR, LA Times, CNN,
Newsweek, and American Medical News.
The Wall Street Journal called KevinMD.com a ?punchy, prolific blog that
chronicles America?s often dysfunctional health care system through the
prism of a primary care provider,? and other bloggers have noted that
?a lively comment stream on one of Kevin?s posts provides more insight
on the day-to-day realities of health care than any piece of journalism
can ever hope to impart.?
Forbes.com hailed KevinMD.com as a ?must-read blog,? and CNN.com named
KevinMD as one of its five recommended healthcare Twitter feeds.
As a member of USA Today?s board of contributors, Pho has written
opinion pieces that have appeared in both national and local
publications.
"I have followed KevinMD.com since its inception and have found Kevin
Pho?s comments and selection of articles on point and clear-headed. A
tremendous touchstone for today's clinicians' in these turbulent times,"
said Robert Stern, CEO of MedPage Today. "I look forward to our
collaboration and his unique content as part of MedPage Today?s Related
Sites? initiative."
