I’ve attended the amazing Medicine Meets Virtual Reality conferences several times as a member of the organizing committee. Now it’s time to submit your abstracts for next year’s event as well.
For 2013, we return to San Diego, where “Medicine Meets Virtual Reality” began in June 1992. Participants can look forward to a special gathering that acknowledges two decades of vision and innovation.
The Call for Presentations has opened: the Organizing Committee invites researchers to give paper and poster presentations, and organize independent sessions such as workshops and panels. The materials submission deadline is Sunday, July 15.

Just like last year, I’m a keynote speaker again at the upcoming Doctors 2.0 and You, the event of the year in the medicine 2.0/health 2.0 space. This year, I will come up with a brand new topic.
On Wednesday, I will be the moderator in the session about big data in healthcare.
And on Thursday, I will speak about how crowdsourcing helped my way through medical school as a real geek.
Here is a great summary about what’s coming up in Paris. Until my keynote is published online, here is my speech from last year when I talked about the favorite social media tools of a physician.
See you in Paris!

How To NOT Use a Medical Photo: Best example February 2, 2012
Posted by Dr. Bertalan Meskó in Conference, Medicine.add a comment
The Sterile Eye blog came up with a very tough case in which the official poster for the the 19th Workshop of the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) was found to be quite disturbing and Øystein Horgmo raised important questions about the use of this image.
- Did the parents of this child agree to their child being used on a poster in this way?
- Did they know ISSVA would choose a photo were their child looks frightened?
- Did they know ISSVA would make the poster the shape of their child’s head?
- Did they know ISSVA would desaturate everything but their child’shemangiomas?
- Did they know ISSVA would put text all over their child’s face?
- Even if they knew and agreed to all of the above, why did ISSVA use the photo like this?
What do you think about this?

“The Doctors 2.0 & You conference is supported by followers around the world who like the open spirit with which we present Health Care Social Media and collaborative tools.
