CoreMedia announced today that the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has launched a sophisticated interactive content portal powered by CoreMedia’s CMS that harnesses the power of social media. The name of AAMC's new site is MedEdPortal.
“AAMC’s desire to create an interactive medical community that facilitates the exchange of educational content is a project that CoreMedia was excited about and well suited to enable,” said René Hermes, VP Marketing of CoreMedia. “The combination of our market leading CMS and extensible social software features made CoreMedia the obvious choice for AAMC.”
AAMC’s MedEdPORTAL is a free online peer-reviewed publication service provided in partnership with the American Dental Education Association (ADEA). MedEdPORTAL was designed to promote educational collaboration by facilitating the open exchange of peer-reviewed teaching resources such as tutorials, virtual patients, simulation cases, lab guides, videos, podcasts, and assessment tools. While MedEdPORTAL's primary audience includes medical professionals, health educators and learners around the globe, it is also freely accessible to the general public.
CoreMedia’s CMS solution combines a full featured content management platform with social software features that allows AAMC to:
- Increase traffic and stickiness through personalizing content;
- Seamlessly manage both editorial and user generated content;
- Engage customers through social features including: commenting, ratings, recommendations, microblogs and collaborative filtering.
CoreMedia will be present at Gilbane Conference in San Francisco. At the June 2-4, 2009 conference they will be exhibiting their CMS, Web TV and social software solutions.
