San Lucas Medical Limited (www.sanlucasmedical.com), the London-based print and online publisher of fifteen medical journals throughout Europe and Asia, today announced its exclusive strategic alliance and distribution partnership with Medikly, LLC (Medikly) of New York City, focused on enhancing collaboration and learning among physicians, institutions, and medical societies.

Medikly’s (www.medikly.com) content delivery and networking platform is tailored specifically to meet the educational and informational demands among clinicians for medical research, clinical trials, and “just-in-time” learning. Features include activity modules such as forums, chats, resources, journals, quizzes, surveys, workshops, glossaries, lessons, and assignments, all of which can save up to eighty percent of traditional content development and delivery costs.

The medical communities of Europe and Asia are diverse and dispersed on many levels – from geography and language, to clinical approach and capabilities, to government regulation and funding. With its existing publishing footprint, San Lucas Medical can now overlay worldwide internet functionality, bringing together like minds and diverse practices from its broad reach in European and Asian markets.

San Lucas Medical Publisher Seun Moses Abimbola said, “We are leveraging our publishing strength exponentially by harnessing the functionality of the internet, to the benefit of all of our partners who help us bring first rate medical knowledge to clinicians. We welcome all players to participate with San Lucas in the creation of a new platform branded MDSNe – the electronic medical doctor social network (pronounced “med-syn”), bringing our resources together to improve physician knowledge and care, and patient health.”

The MDSNe platform is expected to launch as fully operational at the start of 2011.
Interested parties may begin to find out more by visiting www.mdsne.org.

Venkat Gullapalli, MD, CEO of Medikly, commented, “We have successfully launched our platform in the United States and are excited about the launch in Europe and Asia under the stewardship of San Lucas Medical. This will be a successful partnership, and I already envision worldwide initiatives on improvements in medical practice and patient outcomes.”

The deal was facilitated by InQuill Medical Communications, LLC, an award winning medical writing and marketing company based in California. (www.inquill.com)
