MedsiteCME adds animated video to eCME site

MedsiteCME has added multimedia in the form of animated videos to its online CME case studies, the company reports. The addition of multimedia to the case-based CME programs allows physicians to view and interact with patient videos, diagnostic imaging, and animated mechanisms. The video makes it easier for physicians to visualize procedures and anatomy in an interactive manner, Medsite says. MedsiteCME maintains more than 450,000 physicians in its database and is supported by unrestricted educational grants from more than 20 pharma companies. An example of three neurology cases with multimedia can be found at MedSiteCME. Earlier this month, The New England Journal of Medicine added to its Web site peer-reviewed educational videos that aim to teach procedures and specialized physical examinations (ePharm5, 4/17/06).
