AMA Partners with Sermo.com for Physician Community
May 31, 2007
The American Medical Association is teaming up with Sermo, a Web 2.0 social networking site for physicians only to provide a new service for their 250,000 members. This new partnership will allow participation in discussions on Sermo but also allow members to discuss content from the AMA website using Sermo tools. The AMA also plans to use the interactive tools to discuss health policy issues. Sermo also allows users to post cases securely discuss them. Sermo verifies credentials after a user creates an account using physician databases.
