WORCESTER, MA, December 17, 2010 (Press-News.org) The Clinical Pharmacology Study Group (CPSG) announced its selection as a top Expert Curator by OrganizedWisdom for providing people with quality health information online.
OrganizedWisdom's Medical Review Board selects doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, publishers, patient experts, and health advocates as Expert Curators, those who organize helpful and credible online health resources. "With the explosion of health information publicly shared via social media and available on thousands of Web sites, often without order or full disclosure of the source, there is a need to aggregate the information in a meaningful and useful way," explains Howard Krein, MD, Chief Medical Officer of OrganizedWisdom and Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. "OrganizedWisdom is organizing this wealth of health information from the health professionals, experts, and advocates who are using social media as a powerful communication platform for people searching online."
Dr. Krein states, "Dr. Charles Birbara not only meets the call as an Expert Curator, but exceeds the call, in terms of sharing his expertise and experience with autoimmune disorders online for the benefit of others."
"As a Medical Practitioner and Associate Professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, I recognize the importance of educating people so they can take charge and making intelligent decisions regarding their health," states Dr. Birbara, "I am pleased to be selected as a top Expert Curator by OrganizedWisdom's Medical Review Board for our social communications on Twitter and Facebook."

He has an established rheumatoid arthritis practice and is a Staff Physician at UMASS Memorial Medical Center and St.Vincent Hospital in Worcester, MA.
