php Opensource/Free CMS Suggestion for Medical purposes

I need to build a CMS for a group of resident doctors.
The CMS should have (at least) the following features

Free/Opensource developed with PHP
User groups
User public profiles
User blogs/notes/articles/posts
Custom forms (for exams, polls, surveys)
Multimedia friendly (embed slideshare ppts, videos, audio, etc.)
WYSIWYG editor
SEF urls
Calendar, Events
RSS
Files/documents manager

I'm also open to use tools like ning, but it is kinda limited?. I'm also considering pligg, but I would spend time on developing custom stuff (which I want to avoid)

Thanks a lot in advance,

You need to build one? Or use one?

If you're looking to use one that already exists. Drupal has all those features available. Several of them are built in although some of them need a little work hunting down the right modules.

Joomla is also an option but not quite as good in my opinion.

If you're looking to build one from scratch...why?

No, I'm looking for a solution already available with all those features. I want to avoid coding anything

Drupal or Joomla then. Neither of them have everything you've listed "built-in" but they both have modules (Drupal calls them "Modules", Joomla calls them "Components") that are basically plug-ins or addons that will add those features. Adding these consist simply of uploading them to a special folder, then going into the administrator control panel for the CMS and turning them on.

Cool. I guess I'll stick to Joomla!, but I'm looking frequently to pligg.com and elgg.org solutions, which are more "social" than Joomla!...Thanks for helping
