This is January which means the prestigious Medgadget Weblog Awards will rule the medical blogosphere for weeks. The polls are open now and I thought I would share with you who I voted for and why.

• Best Medical Weblog: No question about that. The best medical blog belongs to a person who I consider my mentor and who has been doing exceptionally quality job for years. Yes, this is the Clinical Cases and Images blog managed by Vesselin Dimov.

• Best New Medical Weblog (established in 2008): Jacqualine runs one of my favourite medical blogs, the Laika’s MedLibLog, and if you need proof why I chose that one, check her latest post on the difference between web 1.0 and 2.0 regarding medicine.

• Best Clinical Sciences Weblog: I’m a fan of scan man’s notes, but Clinical Cases and Images is unbeatable in this category.

• Best Medical Technologies/Informatics Weblog: I think Ted Eytan, MD just rocks and Clinical Cases and Images shouldn’t win 3 categories (it would make things quite boring). Don’t forget to check out the blog of my fellow medstudent pals at TomographyBlog.

• Best Patient’s Blog: Undoubtedly, Kerri Morrone of Six Until Me is the blogger you should choose. She is the best example how an e-patient can become a valuable guide for other patients.

Many thanks to Medgadget for managing this great medblog event!

And one more thing, maybe the most important one: all the nominated blogs are winners. And I mean it!
