MedConnect is Australia's newest health portal, and your gateway to leading local and international medical news, research, events and resources.
MedConnect is brought to you by Elsevier Australia, one of the world's leading medical publishers, and is specifically targeted at physicians in Australia and New Zealand. For that reason we have made a sound effort to ensure that MedConnect maintains a strong focus on local, relevant content, as well as including the most important international advancements.
As you will see when you browse around, MedConnect is organised by medical specialty, with four featured specialties having their own mini-website: CardiologyConnect, EndocrinologyConnect, OncologyConnect and PsychiatryConnect. You'll also find a wide range of content for all other major specialty areas. We source our news and research-based content from Elsevier's content-rich resources, including MD Consult and First Consult, and we also provide links to local resources such as events, practice guidelines, organisations, clinical trials and drug databases.
One of our principle aims is to encourage communication, debate and social networking among our users. For that reason we've included forums, opinion polls and blogs, making it easier for you to stay connected to one another.
Another element you'll find useful are our Journal Summaries, which list the current research articles appearing in the world's top general medicine journals, updated with issue release and filtered by our four featured specialties. We compile this for you and update it daily so you can discover what's currently happening in medicine with one quick page click, rather than checkchecking each journal individually. If you're an MD Consult subscriber, you can also access their article summaries via this page as well.
