And to wrap up the prizes, all winners will receive an annual subscription to the Placebo Journal, “The Only Medical Journal That Will Make You Laugh… On Purpose!”

Lastly, we would like to thanks everyone for taking the time to nominate their favorite medical blogs. As our judging committee went through the dozens of weblogs in each category, we enjoyed looking through so many fascinating sites, some known to us, some recently born, but all dedicated to the advancement of the science and art of medicine. We know firsthand that each blog is someone’s labor of love, and that blogging is both labor intensive and a very personal experience, and as such, we took the job of selecting the finalists very seriously.

And now, the drum roll… PLEASE MEET THE FINALISTS!
