Healthcare providers search to find clinical information and keep current. Each month, we review what terms dramatically increased in physician searches and select the top 10 based on significance and percentage of increase. Although sometimes driven by what's in the news, the answers for why some terms are more popular than others may surprise you. We speculate as to what prompted those searches and provide some interesting facts about related conditions with a series of infographics. If you have thoughts about what’s trending and why, feel free to share them with us on Twitter or Facebook!
