The virtual doctor’s lounge is an easy-access online platform that allows physicians to connect with their colleagues and other physicians across the medical community about professional and personal concerns that they come across during their every day practice.
As many of you spend a great deal of time working on your own in clinic, we thought it would be a good idea to provide you with a platform where you’re able to easily interact with your peers. On The Rounds you are able to interact with physicians within your department. In addition, you can post articles, stories, and pose questions about particular patient cases that you would like a second opinion about. This platform is a safe space for you to confidentially interact with your colleagues and receive support.
