About Us:
McMahon Medical Books is part of McMahon Group’s “Doctor-to-Doctor” communications division, and offers medical textbooks from most of the world’s major medical book publishers.
In an effort to provide physicians and other clinicians with a comprehensive way to purchase medical books, as well as provide an outlet for physician-authors, McMahon Group created www.mcmahonmedicalbooks.com in 2007 with the goal of becoming the largest single source of books about medicine.
Currently the site offers over 4,000 clinical and general interest books from 55 different medical publishers, and more are added each day.
The idea for www.mcmahonmedicalbooks.com was sparked by Leo A. Gordon, MD, a general surgeon who is the associate director of surgical education at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. His book, “Cut to the Chase – 100 Matrix Pearls for Doctors,” which offers summaries of his experiences in medicine using a lesson format, was the first to be posted on www.mcmahonmedicalbooks.com. Dr. Gordon’s book started selling right away and has continued to sell ever since.
“McMahon’s www.mcmahonmedicalbooks.com features the most practical books for working surgeons,” said Dr. Gordon. “It’s the ultimate one-stop shopping site.”
From there www.mcmahonmedicalbooks.com has continued to grow. In addition to the website, more than 250,000 readers see a list of 10 new books with short reviews in the monthly Book Pages section that is featured in each of McMahon Publishing’s 9 print publications. Note that we’re not just providing books from large and small book publishers; we also encourage medical authors to contact us about their self-published books for inclusion on the Book Page and website. The on-line book site also offers concierge service, so if you do not find the book you are looking for, we will find it for you and e-mail you the purchase information. Go to “Contact Us” positioned at the top of the home page and send us the name of the book, author and publisher.
A Growing Doctor-to-Doctor Destination
www.mcmahonmedicalbooks.com is a natural outgrowth of McMahon Group’s other Doctor-to-Doctor destination, www.mcmahonjazzmedicine.com, which highlights music and art created by physicians. Most physicians are not only great clinicians; many are also artists, musicians, gifted speakers and authors. Three years ago, McMahon CEO and publisher Ray McMahon launched the Jazz Medicine music site and independent label to provide physicians and other clinicians who write or play music with an opportunity to widen their audience, as well as give contemporary jazz greats a better label for recording.
The site was the first of its kind and the response from physicians was incredible. Works of many physicians and healthcare industry musicians are now featured on the site, along with a huge lineup of jazz greats. The site currently receives thousands of visitors a month and has sold more than 6,000 CDs.
“We’ve had a greater response from our readers to Jazz Medicine than anything we’ve done in the past because we are tying into their passions,” Ray McMahon said. “Most physicians are artists or have an artistic bent, and this is a way for them to connect with an audience of their peers.”
Viewers can also see all of our monthly medical newspapers or visit the other divisions of the McMahon Group at www.mcmahonmed.com. Our site devoted to CME, all of which is offered without charge, is www.CMEZone.com.
