PITTSBURGH, Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- CECity.com, Inc. (CECity) the leading technology provider of online continuing medical education (eCME), quality improvement and eCME distribution solutions, has been awarded two eHealthcare Leadership Awards for the CE Medicus(R) continuing medical education portal ( http://www.cemedicus.com/ ).
In the category of Best Health/Healthcare Content, CECity received the top level Platinum award. This prestigious award is based upon whether the medical information presented is balanced, current and credible. The committee also looks at how well the material is organized on the site and whether or not the content can be tailored to meet individual needs.
“The presentation of a broad library of fair and balanced CME content is a cornerstone of the CE Medicus(R) mission,” said Kathy Conrad, Director of Medical Education. “Recognition of this achievement is particularly rewarding for CECity.”
The second eHealthcare award received was the Gold award for Best Overall Internet Site. This award focuses on delivery of powerful health content, strength of design and ease of navigation.
The eHealthcare Leadership Awards were developed by the leading Internet resource eHealthcare Strategy and Trends and recognizes the leading web sites for healthcare professionals. More than 1,200 entries were received for review this year.
In January 2004, CECity was honored with the distinguished 2004 William Campbell Felch/Wyeth Award for Research in CME through CE Medicus(R), for the Study of Continuing Online Physician Education (S.C.O.P.E.), which measured the impact of CME on physician knowledge and practice behavior.
Following the William Campbell Felch/Wyeth Award, CE Medicus(R) received the 2004 “Standard of Excellence” International WebAward.
CE Medicus(R) is powered by CECity’s award winning MyCECity Enterprise(TM) eLearning management system and is supported through an unrestricted educational grant from Merck & Co., Inc. It was designed to provide busy healthcare professionals with convenient online access to the World’s largest library of accredited continuing healthcare education. Currently, the CE Medicus(R) catalog contains a comprehensive library of activities from today’s thought leaders, offering more than 9,000 CME and CE credits online from more than 50 medical education providers.
Through the CE Medicus(R) web service, healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses and pharmacists, are able to meet state licensing board mandates that require them to complete up to 50 hours of CME each year in order to be re-licensed. Continuing medical education is recognized to be a critical component of the healthcare professional’s post-graduate continuing professional development, allowing them to remain current with the latest in science and technology, in order to enhance their performance and improve the quality of care to their patients.
