New social network for physicians aims for fun as well as business

The healthcare and medical job board AbsolutelyHealthCare.com has launched www.MedicalMingle.com, a social network and virtual community for people working in or studying healthcare. The free site aims to be a fun place where people in the healthcare field can interact, either socially or professionally. On the professional side, resources include healthcare news, career information, and journal downloads. On the social side, members can use the site for dating, photo and video sharing, and travel research. Several social-networking sites just for physicians have launched recently, and MedicalMingle.com is definitely one of the least clinically focused. Others include Curbside Communities and Tiromed.com.
