MDPIXX (the "youtube" for physicians) sponsors Physician 2.0 Award at Medicine 2.0 congress

MPIXX is a highly interesting website which describes itself as follows:

"MDPIXX is a clinical web site that allows the interchange of clinical cases, images and videos. Clinicians can post clinical cases with associated images or videos for further discussion between colleagues."
(Source: http://blog.mdpixx.com/category/faq/. Accessed: 2008-07-09. [Archived by WebCite® at http://www.webcitation.org/5ZBkJ1Z0d]).

One could also refer to this multimedia case database as a "YouTube" for physicians (and possibly - patients?).


I am pleased to announce that in the context of the Medicine 2.0 Conference, MDPIXX will sponsor a "Physician 2.0 Award" for the best clinical case submitted to the MDPIXX case database.

The award consists of one Apple iPhone for the winner.





The price will be awarded during the Medicine 2.0 Congress in a public session.


Eligible for the award are medical doctors. The deadline to submit a medical case to MDPIXX is September 3rd at 12PM (CET Time).

The award will be given to the most valued case, as determined by the MDPIXX user community, using the following criteria:

1. Clinical Case qualification (stars)
2. Number of votes from other users
3. Comments by other users
4. Number of visits to that particular case

The candidate for award must meet the following requirements during the period:

1. Candidate must be a medical doctor correctly registered at MDPIXX; with all professional data completed.
2. Introduce a minimum of 1 clinical case on MDPIXX (more are also accepted)
3. Discuss and / or vote on a minimum of 10 clinical cases of other colleagues
4. The case should have at least two associated pictures or videos and have been voted over 30 times by other users.

And of course we hope that submitting physicians will also attend the Medicine 2.0 congress (although this is not an eligibility requirement).
