Washington, DC, April 2, 2012 – MDLinx (www.mdlinx.com), one of the nation’s top physician websites, and Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Continuing Education today announced an agreement to collaborate on “The SmartestDoc,” MDLinx’s unique and fast-growing educational quiz product.

Cleveland Clinic will provide quiz questions and related content for Internal and Family Medicine physicians. Physicians can visit The SmartestDoc at www.mdlinx.com/smartestdoc.
“This is an exciting development for The SmartestDoc,” said Stephen Smith, Chief Marketing Officer for M3 USA, the owner of MDLinx. ”Cleveland Clinic is highly recognized for their top-tier medicine and education. Including their educational content in The SmartestDoc will help us ensure the highest-quality product, and will add to the already excellent education that SmartestDoc offers busy physicians.”
“Our experience shows that physicians learn in many different ways, and use different methods to keep up with medical knowledge,” said William D. Carey, M.D., director of Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Continuing Education. “SmartestDoc takes advantage of emerging technology. Our principal role in this collaboration is to ensure that high quality, up-to-date clinical information is at the core of this experience. This collaboration will allow Cleveland Clinic to share more educational content with physicians to get speedy, evidence-based clinical information."
