The educational concept and design was developed by Dr. Abdulla
M. Abdulla who is a former Chief of Cardiology at the Medical
College of Georgia. He is the Medical Editor, designer, developer
and a major contributor of educational material for HeartSite.com
and CardiologySite.com. A group of Faculty Members from the Medical
College of Georgia and other Institutions will also contribute
material. He has published multiple scientific articles
in text books and major medical journals. Dr. Abdulla has over
18 years of experience in computer-based learning and has innovatively
used this technology for teaching medical students and patients
since the early 1980's. He is the recipient of a dozen Teacher
of the Year awards from a Medical School and was the founding
Medical Editor of Physicians & Computes until the Winter of
2000, when he resigned to devote more time to web-based Medical
Education. He is also a former Teaching Scholar of The American
Heart Association and has lectured Internationally on computer-based
medical education. Dr. Abdulla is also the developer of the award
winning HeartSite.com web site.
The content material was designed to create a Virtual
Medical School Campus that will provide
information to practicing physicians, house-officers,
medical students, allied health personnel, representatives
of pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing
companies, and those who have an interest in
gaining medical information that is presented
in a unique and effective manner. It is
being presented as a public service. All
contents are reviewed by other physicians to
ensure accuracy. Our objective is to educate
and NOT to advertise or promote specific medications,
devices or procedures.
