Research and Markets: Medical Information Seeking Patterns of US-Practicing Oncologists

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6pw3dw/medical) has announced the addition of the "Medical Information Seeking Patterns of US-Practicing Oncologists" report to their offering.

Oncologists now spend, on average, seven hours a week searching for information directly related to the care of their patients.
