InsiderMedicine— A medical video news service


There are many medical websites on the Internet. What distinguishes this one is that the site consists of hundreds of video reports made by a team of Queen’s University medical doctors and students. The aim is to present accurate, peer-reviewed medical information. There is no advertising on the site—thus no marketing bias. Topics cover various diseases, treatments, and psychological wellness in general. The site is multilingual, currently offering information in English, Chinese and Spanish. The strong point about the site is the depth of information on the latest medical research. The plan is to add a forum to enable people to discuss information on the site. I found the site somewhat difficult to navigate at first. The site is new, however, and navigation and user-friendliness may improve over time.
