Professional medical search engine connects physicians with credible online resources

San Diego, April 19, 2007 – SearchMedica.com, the specialty oriented professional medical search engines that contain only practical clinical information, today provided the first ever SearchMedica Primary Care demonstrations to an audience at the American College of Physicians’ (ACP) Internal Medicine 2007, the premier scientific meeting for internal medicine. This year’s ACP annual meeting takes place April 19-21, 2007 at the San Diego Convention Center. SearchMedica will exhibit at the Cliggott Publishing Group’s booth (#2100).

“The ACP annual meeting attracts thousands of physicians, and they’ll get a live glimpse into the many practical applications of SearchMedica Primary Care and the search engine’s advanced capabilities,” said Cyndy Finnie, senior product manager. “SearchMedica was created by doctors for doctors; so it is a credible source of medical information. Once doctors try SearchMedica they typically embrace the free, easy to use clinical tool. We expect to reach many new physicians this week.”

Internal Medicine 2007, formerly ACP’s Annual Session, is the first meeting generalists and subspecialists turn to for the latest developments in internal medicine. With more than 260 scientific sessions, ACP’s annual meeting attracts an audience of nearly 6,500 physicians and healthcare professionals.
