    A Cure For Tinnitus at UTD?

    A promising new therapy has made its way from Australia to the States. The Callier Center for Communication Disorders at University of Texas at Dallas is one of about 200 medical centers offering Neuromonics, a treatment device for tinnitus developed by an Australian audiologist, Dr. Paul Davis.

2007 Medical Weblog Awards Sponsored by ScrubsGallery.com: Meet the Winners!

Posted by Callier Library on January 24, 2008

from MedGadget.com

2007 was an eventful year for the world of medical blogs. We saw old favorites disappear, like Medpundit and Dr. Flea, and heard from provocative new voices. Last year, the mainstream media and Wall Street invested more in medical blogs and forums — but from our perspective the most insightful, passionate medical writing keeps coming from independent bloggers: doctors, nurses, students and healthcare professionals that venture online to share their thoughts.

We salute all the medical bloggers, but to draw attention to the best of the bunch, we let readers weigh in. That’s right — the same people that inspire and cajole bloggers to write their best got to nominate their favorites. After our editorial board (plus some esteemed guests) narrowed down the list of reader-selected nominees, we once again put it to an open vote.

And the readers have spoken! So, without further ado — the WINNERS of the 2007 Medical Weblog Awards!
