  1. Hi,

    I am a student at the Indian Institute of Management,
    Bangalore (www.iimb.ernet.in) doing a course on market
    research. For our project are trying to identify some of the
    unmet needs of practicing doctors, in terms of access to
    medical information of different kinds. This is addressed to
    doctors who are individual practitioners or work for
    hospitals, and is aimed at finding out needs which doctors
    face individually rather than in the context of Hospital
    Information Systems etc. This could be in terms of improving
    their practice, communication with patients and peers,
    storing and retrieving relevant information, etc.

    What is the proper site to post this survey?

    If any of you would like to have the survey posted
    personally to your mail box please mail me at -
    vardhanwalavalkar AT hotmail DOT com.

    thank you, Vardhan
