Best Medical Blog Widgets

by

Market Analyst

Because we're obsessed with medical blogs here at Software Advice, we decided to create a FREE RSS widget of our 25 favorite medical blogs.

Choose your color scheme and number of posts to display below and simply cut and paste the code into your site. To see what the widget looks like, click Preview next to each one.

Here are the blogs in the widget:

  • Booster Shots
  • Clinical Cases
  • Clinical Correlations
  • DB's Med Rants
  • Dr. Wes
  • EmergiBlog
  • Get Better Health
  • Gooz News on Health
  • Grunt Doc
  • The Happy Hospitalist
  • Health 2.0 Blog
  • Health Beat
  • The Healthcare Blog
  • The Healthcare Guy
  • Healthcare and Technology
  • Healthcare Renewal
  • Healthcare Townhall
  • Kevin MD
  • Net Doc
  • NHS Blog Doctor
  • Not Nurse Ratched
  • Rangel MD
  • Schwitzer Health News Blog
  • Science-Based Medicine
  • Science Roll

We're using Google's RSS widget, which will automatically fit to the width of your blog's sidebar. So don't fret if the widget looks too big in the preview for your site.

Tip: If you're HTML savvy, you can actually edit the widget to display as little or as many posts as you want. Look for the n= after TopMedicalBlogs? in the code and put in whatever number you'd like.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at (512) 364-0118 or by e-mail at chris@softwareadvice.com.

    You forgot my blog (Musings of a Distractible Mind) and Suture for a Living (one of everyone’s favorites!)

    • http://www.SoftwareAdvice.com Chris Thorman

      Thanks for pointing those out Rob. I think we’ll create a bigger widget, or one with different blogs, some time down the line. We’ll make sure to get you in there :)

      I did my best to get a mix of different blogs covering different topics and in no way meant suggest there were only 25 good med blogs out there. As we both know, I could have made a widget of the top 100 med blogs and the quality wouldn’t have gone down.

    Chris,

    There is very little here that is outside of the US in health blogs. The NHS Blog Doctor is excellent but very sporadic at the moment.

    How do you select your best 25?

      @ JD

      Thanks for checking it out JD. We chose blogs that we had been following for quite some time now, for various reasons. We tried to get a good mix in there. We’ll update this list sometime early this year with more blogs.
