I’m not a doctor, but I’m interested in medical research and biotechnology. In a previous post (Staying One Step Ahead in Software Development), I discussed some ways of finding information on people at the top of their field.
A similar list for medicine might include these categories:
• Researchers who are highly cited
• Researchers who are cited in journals with a high ranking
• Faculty at top medical schools
• Researchers at prestigious institutes
• Physicians at highly ranked hospitals
• Doctors ranked highly by their peers
• Physicians with high levels of patient satisfaction
• Inventors of more effective therapies or devices or technologies
