eMedicine
eMedicine was a comprehensive, peer-reviewed, continuously updated online clinical reference primarily for physicians and other healthcare professionals. It contained articles covering a wide range of medical specialties and subspecialties. The content was written and maintained by physician authors, acting as expert contributors. eMedicine aimed to provide evidence-based information to assist in diagnosis, treatment, and clinical decision-making.
eMedicine was originally an independent company founded in 1996. In 2006, it was acquired by WebMD. After the acquisition, eMedicine's content became integrated into WebMD's broader online health information platform.
The eMedicine platform was known for its detailed medical articles, structured organization, and multimedia content. It served as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals seeking up-to-date clinical information. Over time, the eMedicine brand and website became less prominent as WebMD integrated its content and functionality into its core WebMD platform. The name eMedicine is now largely historical.
