If any of you forum users are interested in a general discussion site for physicians, there is a new guy in town, DocsForum.net. The site was developed as a place to discuss clinical information and other topics of interest. The plan is for people to present challenging or interesting cases, and share new and worthwhile clinical results and insights. It serves as a place to get instant consults from a wide range of docs. Tips on practice management and surviving and thriving in the modern medical environment are encouraged. Discussion of non-medical topics of interest is encouraged as well.
There have been other sites like this over the years. Some of you may be familiar with Sermo, which was probably the closest model until it developed some problems.
The site is just getting going, so the volume of material is a little sparse, but the early members are a knowledgeable and friendly group. If you want to discuss medicine, or just chat about your interests, pet peeves, or hobbies, then take a look at DocsForum.net.
(This should in no way compete with this AC forum and is not intended to draw participation from this user board in any way).
The site should be easy to access but does require permission to view and post from the moderator. If you have any issues with admission, send me a PM here.
