What.

Vesalius hosts advertising banners and sponsored links. All advertising messages on Vesalius are confined to industry-standard formats and segregated from Vesalius editorial content. This makes it easy for viewers to distinguish commercial messages from editorial content, which reinforces our credibility and non-partisan standing. The objective, academic viewpoint maintained in all Vesalius narratives and graphical content is one of Vesalius's most important attributes and a major reason that physicians have embraced our site.

Why.

If your organization needs to communicate the benefits of a product or service to physicians – and especially to surgeons – Vesalius offers an unmatched combination of cost-effectiveness and worldwide reach. Advertising and sponsorship options on Vesalius should be of interest to your organization if one or more of the following apply:

1. Your product or service relates directly to a specific surgical procedure or technique.

2. Your organization has devoted a significant portion of its marketing budget to building a website that explains your products and services, but few people ever visit it.

3. Traditional marketing programs – like trade shows, print advertising and direct mail – seem unreasonably expensive.

4. Your organization would like to expand the awareness of its products and services in international markets.

5. Your organization would like to associate itself with the substantial goodwill that Vesalius generates in the healthcare community by offering a unique and valuable resource that helps doctors improve the lives of patients throughout the world.
