MDLinx is an internet-based service for physicians and healthcare professionals provided by M3 USA Corporation. It offers physicians and other healthcare professionals a means of staying current with academic literature. The typical medical specialist needs to read 30 to 80 journal articles every day to keep up with the flow of information in their specialty. MDLinx scans, sorts, summarizes, and disseminates new literature in a digestible form.
Healthcare professionals subscribe to the free service and opt to receive daily or weekly newsletters with summaries of and links to new journal articles in their areas of specialty. MDLinx users also receive information about pharmaceuticals and Continuing Medical Education (CME) programs, and invitations to take part in paid market research surveys. MDLinx currently runs sites in 34 specialties and 747 subspecialties.[1] Clients, which include pharmaceutical companies and Continuing Medical Education (CME) institutions, use informational and promotional space on MDLinx's site and email to communicate information about their products, services and programs. MDLinx's Market Research arm provides direct access to physician panels in the US, Japan and Korea, and access via partnerships to physician panels in other countries. According to Forrester Research, MDLinx is one of the most trafficked physician portals in the United States.[2]
