In an attempt to bring physicians together and provide patients with a higher quality of care, Alan Raymond, M.D., who is a New York City gastroenterologist, has developed a professional medical website, available only to medical doctors.

"I wanted a site where doctors around the world could freely communicate while still in a secure environment," states Dr. Raymond. "Until now, in order to communicate with another doctor, you either needed to know his personal or professional e-mail address or be a member of an organization that provides electronic communication for the exclusive use of their members."

With In4MD, physicians do not have to become a member of a special organization and they do not have to pay fees in order to participate in the discussions. In fact, the site is completely free for doctors to use.

"I have been practicing medicine for over 20 years," continues Dr. Raymond. "Until now, I have never found a website that was created exclusively for doctors by doctors and that is created specifically to help improve doctor to doctor communication."

By making it possible for doctors to communicate with each other over the Internet, Dr. Raymond hopes to save them a great deal of time while also making it possible for them to easily consult with other medical experts. Rather then spending time on the phone waiting for a doctor to be paged, In4MD allows doctors to post questions and then check their messages at their convenience.

In4MD is a great source for doctors that are interested in meeting other medical professionals. At the same time, members can invite their colleagues to join. In this way, colleague-to-colleague communication can also be expedited and there is no need to keep track of emails.

"Another issue with personal emails is that they are not secure," says Dr. Raymond. "With In4MD, the entire site is HIPAA compliant. It is also encrypted and regularly monitored for vulnerabilities, which makes it a far safer method of communication when it comes to maintaining patient confidentiality."

With message alerts, doctor web pages containing information about site members, and even a job section, In4MD has a great deal to offer practicing doctors as well as medical students. Visit www.in4md.com to learn more.
