Bertalan Meskó’s Summary

Last year medical student, medical blogger at Scienceroll.com and microblogger at Twitter.com/Berci. I will start PhD in personalized genetics this year. I also give slideshows about web 2.0's impact on medical education and healthcare. I try to ease the work of physicians and scientists by recommending useful tools and sites and by presenting them the new world of web 2.0.

I'm the founder of the first medical web 2.0 guidance service at Webicina.com and I launched the first university credit course for medical students that focuses on web 2.0 and medicine (med20course.wordpress.com)

I've given lectures at several clinics and departments at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Debrecen. I gave presentations at the Medicine Meets Virtual Reality Conference (Long Beach, CA in 2008 and 2009); at the University of Yale, School of Medicine, at the centre of World Health Organization, at the Medicine 2.0 Congress in Toronto or at the clinics of Greenwich, among others.
