Getting connected: A special, online place just for doctors
There’s an online place just for doctors, and it’s called Sermo. Sermo (their tagline is “Know more. Know earlier”) is a social networking site where MDs can hang out and talk to other MDs about what doctors talk about, like medical observations, questions, and opinions that contribute to medical knowledge.
Check out Sermo’s FAQ that addresses some popular questions, such as:
- How will my personal information be used?
- If I give an opinion about a medical question, is there any potential malpractice liability?
- How do I know that Sermo members are really MDs?
Want to know even more? Click the below picture to learn about their business model and understand how clients (health care, governmental, and financial institutions), who pay subscription fees, use Sermo to inform their decisions.
