The Michigan State Medical Society (MSMS) is excited to announce that DocExchange is now live and open to all MSMS members and staff! This new collaborative tool provides you with access to networking and educational opportunities, as well as an easy-to-use discussion forum where you may connect, engage and share information and best practices with other MSMS members and staff.
DocExchange will be your go-to place to connect, ask advice and share expertise about all things health care or MSMS. You can even share large files without cluttering your inbox!
DocExchange's main discussion group, MEDTalk, is available to all members and staff. Each member already has a customizable profile, so take five minutes and follow the instructions below to start making connections!
Getting Started on DocExchange:

*Important: Basic contact and employment information is automatically populated onto your DocExchange profile.
- Build Your Contact List. A great benefit of DocExchange is the searchable member directory. Connect with friends, colleagues, fellow members, and MSMS staff.
- Review Your Email Settings. All members are auto-subscribed to MEDTalk and you will start to receive emails containing new discussion posts as members start participating.

- Real Time: You will receive an email each time a new message is posted
