Content Organization

Medscape is organized by medical specialty, with each supported specialty having its own customized Web site. Specialty content is evaluated, created, and presented under the guidance of a Medscape program director and a medical professional advisory board.

Most specialty sites are organized consistently so you'll know where to find your favorite features as you move from specialty to specialty. Each homepage, for example, typically contains the following sections, with feature articles selected for that specialty:

• Featured CME: highlighted educational activities for the week (generally updated twice a week);
• In Focus: the top articles of the week (generally updated twice week);
• Today's News: the top news stories of the day (updated daily);
• CME Center: recent professional educational activities by specialty;
• Resource Centers: sections on specific conditions or topics of interest;
• Expert Corner: Ask the Experts based on topics of concern according to specialty;
• Conference Center: reports and highlights from key medical meetings;
• Discussions: a forum for discussions with your peers; and
• Library: Journals, textbooks, and reference tools.
