Company Information
Doctors Lounge is one of the most popular online medical resources
for physicians, students and allied clinical professionals. It provides
clinical information through multimedia tutorials and other study aids.
Both patients and professionals can seek answers to medical questions
via the public discussion boards, also known as the medical forums.
Please review our Terms & Conditions of Use.
History
Doctors Lounge was founded in April 2000, when two physicians, Dr.
Tamer Fouad and Dr. Yasser Mokhtar, aspired to create an online medical
community that would provide its visitors with free medical
consultation. They saw the advantages of utilizing the internet as an
accessible, cost-effective and interactive medium to support rather than
replace the doctor-patient relationship.
Aim
Since its inception, the Doctors Lounge website has aimed to provide
a humanitarian service to patients from around the world. Currently our
content spans 20 medical specialties with over 20,000 pages of medical
information.
Our members have written over 10,000 medical articles and answered
more than 30,000 medical questions. Our content is currently being
taught in medical schools worldwide and is part of the student
curriculum for medical students in two international medical schools.
The editorial accomplishments of Doctors Lounge have been cited by many
top reviewers, including Yahoo.com in March 2001.
Services
Members of our community include physicians, residents, nurses and
allied health professionals who participate in providing the various
services offered on our website. Our services include:
1. MEDICAL CONTENT:
Our editorial section is aimed at promoting continued medical
education (CME) and providing a means for communication as well as a
source of update for health professionals. The various services provided

2. DOCTORS LOUNGE MEDICAL FORUMS:
This is also known as the ‘Ask a doctor’ section. This is an active
public medical discussion board which provides the general public with

Doctors Lounge depends on advertising as a source of revenue.

advertisement. We are also partnered with other renowned web sites
bringing to our visitors their premium services.

Medical mnemonics, study reviews, tutorials, medical FAQs and many
other tools can be found at Doctors Lounge.
