Trusted Groups
What do we mean by that? Sufo is designed to support the current real-world professional relationships that you've already built and nurtured.
You can find online extensions of existing professional associations, create new online groups of your own, and apply for membership to those groups started by others - this facilitates and expedites communication with others whom you trust and value - and allows you to have separate and private communications with each distinct group of colleagues, while still having access to content designed for a much broader audience.
Let's say you're a plastic surgeon practicing in Chicago's southwest suburbs. Here are examples of the different groups you may interact with at varying levels:
- ASPS, ASAPS and ISAPS
- Chicago Society of Plastic Surgeons
- Northwestern University Plastic Surgery (where you may have trained as a resident)
- An ad-hoc group of plastic surgeons who practice in the southwest suburbs and share cases every few months
- An ad-hoc group of international plastic surgeons who you may have worked with on a mission for Operation Smile in India
- Your group practice
You would be able to access each group at your convenience through Sufo's online platform.
As discussed in the FAQs, this will be a free service for all plastic surgeons who register - and non-physicians will never be granted access. Also, all registered members will receive a link to their personal practice website.
