Plainsboro, NJ — January 6, 2011— HCPLive.com announces the launch of the new CME portal on its website, featuring unique CME-accredited articles covering the latest clinical and industry news for a wide range of medical specialties, all available at no charge to physicians.

Published by Intellisphere, LLC, HCPLive has long been a leading source of news and information for busy health care professionals. Now, with its new CME offerings, HCPLive further meets the educational needs of physicians who want to keep abreast of the latest clinical research, technology news, and developments in clinical practice.
