Tiromed.com, an online knowledge network for physicians and student doctors, and the Latino Medical Student Association (LMSA) have formed an online affiliation. Tiromed.com has provided LMSA a customized and interactive webpage within the Tiromed website, which will allow LMSA visibility among a large network of medical students. The LMSA webpage on Tiromed.com is www.tiromed.com/lmsa. By visiting this LMSA webpage, Tiromed members can learn more about LMSA, become members of LMSA and promote LMSA within the Tiromed community.
"This affiliation is significant in many ways," says Tiromed co-founder Max Sanel. "LMSA is our first U.S. national student organization affiliate and this partnership represents our ongoing commitment to making Tiromed a truly diverse community. We look forward to working with the leaders of LMSA, and sharing LMSA's mission and initiatives with the Tiromed membership."
For LMSA, the affiliation offers a unique opportunity. "LMSA is extremely excited about our new online affiliation with Tiromed.com because this networking technology will strengthen the communication between our members and expand our reach. Our mission of diversifying medicine and providing healthcare to the underserved requires these types of strategic collaborations" said Efrain Talamantes, LMSA VP of Webpage.
Medical Associations traditionally recruit members via conventional marketing practices, where paid staff promotes the organization to a targeted group. However, with Tiromed, viral promotional activity occurs because the users themselves display Medical Association "badges" on their individual profiles. The result is an environment where associations achieve exposure through user-driven support.
